UWA's students can now take web-based tests anywhere and maintain the same integrity as in a proctered classroom. This educational testing software enables UWA to control the computer settings and authenticate the student's identity, while monitoring the exam environment.
"We have conducted a thorough study of the industry for a solution that will authenticate student identity, ensure that cheating does not occur during exams, and allow the ease of use our students and staff demand," said Dr. David M. Taylor, University of West Alabama Provost.

Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting about this very important issue. This issue has been brought up several times in our class but thus far we have not had any specific industry software addressed. I am now taking a deeper look into the number and types of schools that are using Software Secure from high schools to law schools. I am very interested to know how the integration of this security software works at UNA. Please keep us posted.
