16 What Clayton M. Christensen Says

17 Self Study online is increasing Customized Learner Choices on the rise Online learning will account for 50% of the seat miles by 2018 ~ Clayton M. Christensen

18 S TUDENTS ARE LOOKING FOR A CHOICE

19 REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

20 Quote from Higher Ed Opportunity Act of 2008: Institutions that offer distance education must "have processes through which the institution establishes that the student who registers in a distance education or correspondence education course or program is the same student who participates in and completes the program and receives academic credit."

21 P OLICY S TATEMENT FROM SACSCOC (Southern regional accrediting association - one of the regional accrediting bodies) 1. At the time of review by the Commission, the institution must demonstrate that the student who registers in a distance or correspondence education course or program is the same student who participates in and completes the course or program and receives the credit by verifying the identity of a student who participates in class or coursework by using, at the option of the institution, methods such as: (1)a secure login and pass code, (2) proctored examinations, and (3) new or other technologies and practices that are effective in verifying student identification. http://www.sacscoc.org/pdf/Distance%20and%20correspondence%20policy%20final.pdf of any projected additional student charges associated with the verification of student identity at the time of registration or enrollment.

22 US Dept of Education - Federal financial aid requirements, in order to quality for students to receive federal aid, the university must: 602.17 Application of standards in reaching an accrediting decision. (g) Requires institutions that offer distance education or correspondence education to have processes in place through which the institution establishes that the student who registers in a distance education or correspondence education course or program is the same student who participates in and completes the course or program and receives the academic credit. The agency meets this requirement if it-- (1) Requires institutions to verify the identity of a student who participates in class or coursework by using, at the option of the institution, methods such as-- (i) A secure login and pass code; (ii) Proctored examinations; and. (iii) New or other technologies and practices that are effective in verifying student identity; and (2) Makes clear in writing that institutions must use processes that protect student privacy and notify students

23 Ultimately, all institutions will interpret the HEA requirements and put processes in place to comply with them. However, there is much more to academic integrity than just meeting the current requirements of the HEA.

26 Testing delivery will continue to transform and innovate for the distance learner TRUE OR FALSE:

27 T HE B USINESS The race for more distance learners Expanded Access Meeting regulatory requirements A Student-Centric Approach for all Learners Immediate results 24 x 7 scheduling Anywhere Anytime Efficiencies Reduced Costs?

28 Institutions want/need to provide evidence to accreditation agencies that their online programs have integrity

29 Institutions want/need a manageable, integrity-based solution for proctoring online exams and/or servicing their GROWING population of distance learners

30 A UTHENTICATION & E XAM INTEGRITY

31 Blackboard recently announced that a service is being made available through Acxiom that will periodically and randomly present real- time challenge questions to the test-taker (i.e., in 1998 you lived at one of the following three addresses. The pitch is that along with Blackboards username and password, these challenge questions will ensure that the correct person is taking the test.

32 Right Student is in the room Authentication without exam integrity

33 Processes for Proctoring Online / Remote should be different? TRUE OR FALSE:

36 P EOPLE P ROCESS T ECHNOLOGY

37 Basic Control procedures –Randomized tests –Only log in once, or only proctor can log in –Proctors are managed, trained, audited –Immediate feedback if questionable behaviour –Immediate help if technical challenges –Everything is recorded – video, audio, computer

47 Best PracticeBest Practice Definition Secure Technology Audit (STA)Through our remote access software, we confirm application usage, monitor(s) access, and 3 rd party tools which may lead to aberrant behavior and compromise the online proctoring experience. Visual Authentication (VAP)Requires proctors to authenticate students through photo identification and signature process Continuous Rick Assessment (CRA)Full life cycle auditing of aberrant behavior and potential for compromised proctored exams. This process includes independent audits of online policies. Random Environment Challenge (REC)In-proctoring process by which the proctor will test or challenge the environment that the student is in. This includes audio review, as well as web cam movement to insure exam integrity.

48 Multi Modal Authentication + Monitoring + Recording Authentication WTH exam integrity

49 Voice Recognition Simple to deploy. No upfront costs. Per session fee of a few dollars. Minimize the chance of software malfunction. In combination with video, ensures we know the person is the same person that will then answer the exam questions. Voice matching, video, password and live computer and environment monitoring. Allow for contingency if biometrics test is a fail
