5 keys to choosing the best online proctoring system
At Klarway we have prepared a guide to help institutions choose innovative supervision software. Discover the tips for obtaining a tool capable of boosting educational quality.
Learning methods are changing rapidly to adapt to society's demands. Today, there are tools created with the purpose of guaranteeing the quality of the evaluation process, without requiring the physical presence of students and teachers.
Online exams emerged to meet the challenges of the new education. However, the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic was what drove their use among institutions that had to change their teaching modality.
In that context, many universities around the world transferred their learning methodology to an online format, embracing new channels to provide accessibility and flexibility to students and teachers.
Undoubtedly, one of the key points in education is the evaluation conducted to verify the acquisition of knowledge. In fact, the use of technology is not alien to this situation, which is why proctoring solutions were implemented to monitor evaluation instances safely and reliably.
Before continuing, it is essential to clarify the most complete option for monitoring online exams. In that sense, application-based automated proctoring is the best alternative, as it allows blocking unauthorized access, enabling evaluation to be fair and equitable for all.
At Klarway we offer a system that records escape attempts, preventing students from accessing other pages or applications, so they only focus on their exam.
Now, let's look at the keys to choosing the best online proctoring system:
01 | Security and prestige
- To guarantee security and academic prestige, it will be necessary to look for a system that is perfectly aligned with the objectives to be achieved.
- Integrity, flexibility, innovation and sustainability are pillars that will allow access to a tool adapted to current educational needs.
02 | Application-based automated software
- To achieve complete reliability, it is recommended to acquire application-based automated software that prevents breaches of academic integrity.
- On the other hand, there are models that perform similar tasks – such as extension-based automated proctoring – but do not prevent incident situations.
03 | Main requirements
- The educational center must have an LMS platform, together with a virtual curriculum.
- Additionally, it is transcendental to generate a budget for the online proctoring system, defining the number of students to evaluate, or the number of exams to supervise.
04 | Usability and creativity
- It is essential to verify the usability of the tool, focusing on solutions that provide transparency and quality.
- Similarly, it is important to consider the creativity that one proctoring has over another, whether in terms of brand, product, distinctive features, and/or aspects that stand out over other options.
05 | Choosing proctoring
- It is crucial to choose a system that uses minimum technical requirements, enabling accessibility.
- Finally, it is always appropriate to remember that the selection of proctoring is bilateral: the institution chooses an innovative solution that provides security, while the tool aligns with an educational center that seeks integrity.
Today's education requires new learning models, so it is essential that institutions have systems that are secure, scalable and easy to use.
Guaranteeing a good teaching experience is transcendental to achieving successful education in all its forms. Therefore, from Klarway, we drive innovative digital transformation, offering an efficient, integral and flexible tool.
