The systemic shift in education is calling for a redesign of the educational experience by harnessing the power of Effective Tools and Technologies. With advanced solutions to online learning like remote proctoring we are able to enhance student inclusivity and the availability of quality education around the globe.
Our education system is frequently changing and now, with more and more people utilizing online learning platforms, it is important for educators to understand how to help their students succeed in the non-traditional classroom setting.
This systematic shift calls for students not only to participate in the creation of new knowledge but also to apply it in the real world by using the power of digital tools to do more than just schoolwork.
The online learning space has grown rapidly in recent years, creating opportunity for students all over the world to engage in a quality education. Now, more and more students are choosing online learning over traditional education. With this growth and rise of eLearning, online education is more widely offered around the world and Proctorio is devoted to aid in this expansion by creating more opportunities for students. Online proctoring has become an important consideration to ensure that students and employees are learning and retaining the necessary knowledge to succeed.
Remote proctoring is a tool that is utilized by “non-traditional” students, who may not have the opportunity to attend classes at a physical institution, but instead are using online learning platforms to continue their education.
With advanced solutions to online learning like remote proctoring, students are able to achieve personal development as it fits into their lifestyle–whether constrained socio-economically or otherwise. Moreover, the definition of a student has changed, and now the educational system needs much more flexibility to give students the opportunity to work from home or remotely–such that their life conditions prevent them from making it to campus.
When integrated with the other core components of the new pedagogies in the formal learning process, online learning resources become tools not only for isolated learning by highly motivated students, but tools that enable more inclusive, socially-connected learning for all students.
Proctorio began with the mission to expand opportunities for the development and demonstration of human potential by ensuring integrity in all learning environments and developing new technologies to support innovation in education and beyond. Since Proctorio’s start, this mission has become a reality by providing a scalable and cost effective solution to remote proctoring. Proctorio is allowing students everywhere, regardless of geographic location or background, a chance to engage in an education that they may not have had the opportunity to in the past.
Today, almost one-third of college students take courses online, with no in-person component. Half of these students are enrolled exclusively in online programs, while the remaining take at least one, but not all of their courses, online.
The continuing developments in educational technology, mobile devices and tablets are providing the end-user i.e. students more flexibility in accessing and controlling the creation and sharing of knowledge. These advances empower students, instructors and faculty in finding new ways to take advantage of how much control students have thereby increasing their motivation to learn.
Proctorio’s global footprint has reached an impressive 201 countries around the world, providing remote proctoring to students in all but 5 countries. This global impact shows not only the power of innovative technologies in improving education, but also the desire of students everywhere to learn. Apart from the obvious benefits that online proctoring offers, like saving learner’s time and money, it also offers all students the same learning opportunities as face to face classrooms, but in digital learning environments.
No matter which country you are from, Proctorio is designed to ensure the integrity of distance and online learning and to reduce cost barriers that may otherwise stand in the way of student achievement. The benefits that come with increasing access to quality education around the world are endless. And, with technological advances, specifically in the edtech space, the gap between educated and uneducated should be closed.
By adding integrity to online learning, remote proctoring helps advance lifelong learning for everyone. A 2016 survey from the Pew Research Group found that 87% of workers believe that it is essential for them to get training and develop new skills throughout their work life in order to keep up with changes in the workplace. It is essential therefore, in producing future leaders in the community, that initiatives to foster academic integrity feature strongly in higher education institutions.
This session will be beneficial in teaching instructors how using Proctorio’s learning integrity platform is protecting both the integrity of online learning and students privacy. Proctorio is revolutionizing remote proctoring by providing an automated and unbiased solution to online assessment.
