Take A Closer Look At Remote Proctoring: How Do Universities in the United States Test Online Courses?
Abstract: In tandem with the growth of online courses and degree programs, remote proctoring of required exams becomes more important and necessary. The appropriate flexibility and accessibility of remote proctoring systems/procedures maintains and ensures the integrity of course assessments and curriculum in distance education. This study provides a critical review of the remote proctoring practices in online courses by exploring the various capabilities and procedures as identified by a number of universities in the United States. In this study, the authors collected the data of remote proctoring practices from universities in the United States, and made a comparison between online remote proctoring and In-Absentia exam remote proctoring, and examined the relationship between the type of remote proctoring, the region in which the university main campus is, and the size of student population it serves.
