Learn about the effects of academic dishonesty in higher education on an institution’s reputation and enrollment.

What is the true cost to your organization when faced with cheating or content exposure? With the surge in online exam delivery due to COVID-19, it’s important to understand the value of your intellectual property and the risk posed when integrity is compromised. Join Dr. Ashley Norris as to discuss various examples and studies related to online exams, cheating and the repercussions of an exam security breach.Ashley Norris, PhD, Chief Compliance Officer at Meazure Learning 
Ashley has spent the past 15 years in higher education as both a faculty member and administrator across major institutions, such as the University of Alabama, and has led thought leadership on ethics and integrity in education, continuing to spearhead those efforts for Meazure Learning’s key initiatives on academic integrity. 

We’ve seen a lot in the ten years since ProctorU (now Meazure Learning) was established as the first live online proctoring service. We’ve learned so much that we wanted to share a few stats about the ever-changing online learning industry and how cheaters have evolved alongside technological advances. Learn how much online education has grown in the last decade, what some of the most innovative cheating attempts are and when cheaters cheat most often.

This white paper dives into how technology has changed the landscape of higher education and how cheating has evolved to take advantage of the new realities. Included are staggering statistics about academic dishonesty, two case studies about how Meazure Learning (formerly ProctorU) helped institutions combat the rising problems, and four ways campuses can protect themselves.

It can be difficult to describe the benefits of online proctoring to those who are not familiar with the concept. To help explain differences between the options, we’ve drawn comparisons to something that everyone is familiar with: the world of physical security.

This video explores how the ProctorU Proctoring Platform not only reduces the cost of testing but also lowers the possibility of any form of cheating.

“Instructors use webcam proctoring, among other methods, to cut down on cheating in online classes.”

“Both Udacity, another MOOC provider, and Coursera have teamed up with an online test-taking company called Proctor U that pays employees in Alabama and California to monitor test takers through a webcam trained on the student’s face.”

“Each course was reviewed by two independent faculty members, who looked at a number of aspects, including the tests and anticheating measures, which, in this case, involved a remote monitoring service called ProctorU.”
