What Is Online Proctoring?

  • Authenticating examinees
  • Monitoring of an exam administration

session using Internet technology to view and listen to the session

  • Responding effectively if a perceived

security problem occurs.

Where Is Online Proctoring Used Today?

  • Distance education programs (course

exams)

  • Small, but important, certification

programs

Technical Requirement

Difficult to hit such a moving target, but I’ll give it a try:

  • Examinee computer or other available computer
  • Quiet location with high-speed Internet access
  • Webcam with sufficient field of view
  • Installation of lockdown program
  • Authentication procedures
  • Communication enabled (IM, chat, etc.) between examinee and

proctor

  • Recording and storage of test session video/audio capability

Possible Benefits of Online Proctoring

  • Greater convenience
  • Less costly
  • More secure (for some threats)
  • Record and store testing sessions

Possible Disadvantages of Online Proctoring

  • May not be possible given testing system requirements
  • Setup of lockdown and camera placement can be a challenge
  • Less secure (for some threats)
  • Perceived as a less secure model—may taint a program
  • Some vendors providing less-than-secure methods/technology
  • Camera with limited view
  • Delayed review of video
  • Proctors able to view the test content
  • Proctors do not control test session

Common Technical and Operational Issues

  • Camera connection and placement
  • Use of integrated camera
  • Loss of Internet connection
  • Inability to detect all security threats
  • Installing lockdown program (and control of examinee computer)
  • Authentication (simple or complex; manual or automatic)
  • Monitoring several examinees at the same time

Standards of Online Proctoring

  • Provides for effective observation
  • Has the capability for interaction and control
  • Records and stores the test session and proctor logs

The Future of Proctoring and Technology

  • IN

N TH THE P PAST: Humans did it all! No technology involved.

  • TODAY

AY: Humans get some help: Technology is assisting the effort (CCTV, biometrics; webcams, lockdown).

  • NEAR FUTURE: Humans assist the proctoring technology.
  • A LITTLE FARTHER IN THE FUTURE: Humans design a completely

automated monitoring system and deal with security breaches.
