The document discusses electronic proctoring and identity validation for online programs. It outlines four models of proctoring that were pilot tested, including asynchronous and synchronous video monitoring with or without biometrics. A key goal was to reduce costs while ensuring program legitimacy and integrity. Lessons from the pilot test included determining student, faculty, and institutional needs before full implementation and having discussions to refine requirements.

1. Electronic Proctoring and Identity Validation in Online Programs

2. Motives for pilot testing Reduce costs Manage growth Provide anywhere/anytime online experience Ensure legitimacy and integrity of programs Address possible 2008 HEOA requirements

3. Goals of pilot testing Conduct basic proof of concept Determine burden on students, faculty, and staff Articulate institutional requirements Develop strategies for implementation

4. Key technical components Model 1 Asynchronous video/audio monitoring Physiological biometrics Secure lock-down Full exam creation, delivery, and management.

5. Key technical components Model 2 Synchronous video/audio monitoring Behavioral biometrics Secure lockdown Full exam creation, delivery, and management

6. Key technical components Model 3 Synchronous video/audio monitoring Non-biometric authentication Control of screen by live proctor

7. Key technical components Model 4 Behavioral biometrics (authentication using a computer mouse)

8. Internal study of evaluative assessment at UMUC Role of high-stakes final proctored exam Stakeholder perspectives Key conclusions: External pressures for testing Internal pressures for testing Decoupling academic and academic integrity decisions

9. Conclusions and next steps for UMUC Results of pilot testing RFP preparation: determining institutional requirements Example: “Integration” questions Relationship between electronic proctoring and authentication solutions

10. Overall lessons from UMUC experience Conduct institution-wide conversation on quality online teaching and learning Use pilot testing to help determine and refine institutional requirements Please contact me: Matthew Prineas [email_address] 301-985-7931
