Extended Abstract

ProctorU provides distance proctoring services for colleges, universities and certification organizations that offer examinations online. The service allows students to take their exams from anywhere in a secured environment. ProctorU uses a patent-pending three-step process that confirms that the student who registered for the exam is the student who is taking the exam and is following the institution’s testing requirements. Test monitors can see the student, see what they are doing and know who they are monitoring using webcams and screen-sharing technology. ProctorU proctors monitor the entire process in order to ensure that a high level of integrity is maintained throughout. ProctorU offers live, person to person, real time monitoring to more than 100 colleges, universities and certification organizations, including the University of Arizona, the University of Florida and Northwestern University. ProctorU operates dedicated proctoring centers in Livermore, Calif. and Pelham, Ala. For more information, visit www.proctoru.com
