Abstract
This session will explain how online monitoring works and demonstrate techniques for verifying a test-taker’s identity and observing activity during the test. It will also explore policies and strategies for reducing incidents of dishonesty online. Participants will be invited to discuss how to balance the convenience of taking tests online with the need for test security and integrity, and how to determine which situations are suitable for using online monitors. Faculty and departments will learn directly from the experience of their peers who have implemented online proctoring for their courses and students. The session will demonstrate that it is possible to add a convenient alternative to the testing center burden for students and professors.
