An institution may have various reasons for proctoring online exams. Proctoring exams in the traditional classroom has been around for ages, so why not extend it to online learning. However, maintaining the exam and program integrity is one of the main and most cited reasons. In addition, online exam proctoring helps identify and prevent academic fraud.
In the past months I have researched different options that include on-site proctoring locations, online live proctoring, and online recorded proctoring. These different models have a range of outcomes depending on the institution’s needs. Out of this research, my greatest takeaway is the need to have an online exam policy. This online exam policy should be specific to online learning and outline all the expectations and requirements needed for successfully completing an online exam.
