Typically schools provide students with multiple proctoring options. The options may include testing at a local testing center on campus, testing at a testing center at another university, testing at a professional testing center, utilizing the services of an approved human proctor, and/or using a virtual proctoring service. However, the devil is in the details when it comes to managing multiple proctoring modalities. How does the instructor or testing manager know which students will be testing by what modalities? How do they stay informed about where each student is in the work flow for the various modalities? How do they prompt students to take the next step in the appropriate proctoring work flow?

SmarterProctoring is the first Proctoring Process Management System which allows schools to manage the workflow for multiple proctoring modalities such as testing centers, human proctors, and virtual proctors. Through dashboards embedded into the LMS, faculty, students, administrators, and proctors can all track the full proctoring process for multiple modalities in real time for each student. The system also automates the sending of reminders (text or email) to the student to reduce procrastination in the proctoring workflow.

In this session, Rick Beaudry will share how SmarterProctoring has helped the 15 schools and 55 testing centers in the Mississippi Virtual Community College System manage their multi-modal proctoring process.

The Annual Proctoring / Learner Authentication Survey is administered to measure good practices and perceptions regarding efforts to foster a culture of academic integrity through learner authentication and testing integrity. Close to 300 persons submitted the survey including 102 test center administrators. Twenty-three questions on the survey were specific to test center administrators. Find out about good practices at other test centers in regards to matters such as cost for services, scheduling, protocol for unacceptable behavior, funding, testing formats and more.

Proctoring Best Practices is a new publication being developed jointly by the National College Testing Association and the Security Committee of the Association of Test Publishers during a year-long collaboration. This document is intended to identify best proctoring practices in paper-based, computer-based, and online proctored testing contexts and should serve as a guide for test sponsors and/or publishers in drafting their test administration policies or as they evaluate and audit vendor organizations providing proctoring services. In establishing best practices, the contributors gave primary consideration to those practices that promoted the security of the test, maintained standardization, and ensured the fair and respectful treatment of all test takers.

In this session, the presenters will discuss the collaboration and will provide an overview of the proctor's role in preparing the testing facility, admitting the test taker, proctoring during the examination, concluding the examination, and completing examination responsibilities. Presenters will discuss the proctor's responsibilities during each phase of the testing process, including how they may differ across the various testing channels.
