Proctoring during COVID-19 - ProctorFree

Written by Mike Murphy | Apr 7, 2020 4:00:00 AM

We have witnessed a truly staggering rate of change over the past 30 days or so. We have also listened to countless individuals as they described the challenges COVID-19 is causing their organizations.

 

Everything from institutions of higher learning to corporate human resource providers trying to vet job applicants and potential new hires remotely. We have consulted and contributed to emergency planning and war-gaming how an institution was going to go fully online, or significantly increase the amount of content consumed through their learning management system. Or whether it was a commercial organization struggling to change they way they deliver assessments to add a layer of identity management, academic integrity, and security. And of course, students, test candidates, and individuals taking online courses. Even in more ideal times, there is a level of baseline anxiety that exists when challenging yourself, learning something new, or even taking an online assessment to prove your knowledge in a particular area subject. Having to adapt quickly, wondering what the next couple of months will look like, all while staying on track, sometimes concerned about how to pay for the cost of proctoring, these are all conversations we have faced recently. We have even provided consult to an individual recovering from COVID-19 who was focused on how to deliver his test items with proctoring on a short timeline.
