How does an instructor's perception of academic integrity shape how online proctoring is used ? In this presentation, attendees will learn different ways faculty approach online proctoring and the four unique categories, or "faculty archetypes" of online proctoring. We will examine each of these archetypes, explore their differences, and discussion the implications. By understanding these, attendees will learn how to further shape online proctoring training initiatives and faculty preparation.
In January of 2016, the University of South Florida (USF) launched its first institution-wide online proctoring solution. In the first semester, a total of 65 instructors conducted over 20,000 online proctored exams. We learned a lot but one of the most interesting and unexpected outcomes was the differences in how faculty perceived online proctoring, their expectations of online proctoring, and how this ultimately influenced and shaped their assessment strategy. Despite the differences, there was a pattern. All 65 faculty could be parsed into four distinct categories, that is, four unique "faculty archetypes". This enabled us to customize and shape how we conducted training, preparation, and communication. What are these four online proctoring faculty archetypes ? What implications do these have on online proctoring ? And by understanding these archetypes, how can you improve the way you prepare your faculty for online proctoring ? Attendees of this session will learn all of this and more.
