it’s going to lift all boats”

Security - how do you make sure students are taking exams honestly?

Convenience - how do you offer flexible and secure options?

Cost - how do you make all of the above fit your institution’s (or the student’s) bottom line?

Using Technology Just Makes Sense . . .

“The developing technology for remote proctoring may end up being as good — or even better — than the live proctoring at bricks-and-mortar universities”

Douglas H. Fisher, Professor - Vanderbilt University

-New York Times, 2013

Why an On-Demand Model has a distinct edge:

1. As on-demand “record and review” proctoring solution is technology-driven, there’s no limit to the number of exams an institution can manage at a given time.

2. On-demand proctoring enables exams to be monitored without humans keeping watch, students can take tests from anywhere at any time.

3. Affordability is one of the most attractive aspects of online education, the on-demand proctoring model becomes the best/obvious choice as it's the lowest-cost option.

Bottom Line: Students choose an online course or program for the flexibility of studying anytime-anywhere. Adding rigid requirements like exam scheduling disrupts the anytime learning model. on-demand proctoring is more convenient and less expensive.

We work with all the partners schools do

Time Savings: “This has saved me an hour’s drive to take my son to a testing center.” “This opportunity allowed me to stay home with my sick mother rather than hiring a nurse to care for her while I drove to campus to take the exam.”

Ease of Use: “The proctor software seems to work well and is very convenient for taking tests online.” “Can log in to my test in under 5 minutes - anyone with basic knowledge of computer systems can easily access the program with instructions and practice.”

Privacy: “ Remote Proctor is not intrusive” “Convenience of remote proctoring outweighs my concern about being monitored.”

Cost: “I’ve saved on babysitting fees and parking by being able to take the test from my house.” “I have had to pay up to $50 to take tests at a test center, and leave work early. With this system, I’ve simplified my test taking, and saved money.”

Students who demand flexibility are grateful for the Remote Proctor option . . .
