proctoring

Back **Online Proctoring: A Case Study - Gregg Rosann, CTO - The American Academy** //Gone through an accreditation process recently? If so, you know that proctored end-of-course exams for distance learning courses are no longer optional. This requirement creates quite the operational challenge for online schools that offer courses for students outside the traditional school environment. In this presentation, we’ll discuss the results of an online proctoring pilot program at [|The American Academy], an online school that serves students worldwide.//

Thank you for attending my breakout session. I believe online proctoring is critical to the future of virtual learning and welcome your input, feedback and continued dialog.

Here is a copy of my presentation. If you wish to be included in an ongoing dialog on this topic please drop me a line at gregg.rosann@taaschools.net

Gregg Rosann provided an informative session including good discussion from participants. Gregg noted that August 2008 legislation requires higher education ([|HR 4137]) to find a way to authenticate students in distance learning coursess. Will such a requirement for k-12 be far behind?

Discussion included in-person (Sylvan learing contract, local campus proctor) and remote options (instruction makes inpromtu calls to discuss work with student, requesting updated student picts) Visit Kryterion's Webassessor in the Exhibit Hall is see an example of how biometric authentication is coming along.

One interesting option mentioned is image recognition. Student categories images, then later has to randomly provide those categories with challenged with the picture. See [|vidoop.com]
