Choosing Online Test Administration Software With Monitoring That Is Not Too Intrusive

<p id="">Choosing online test administration software with monitoring that is not too intrusive but still does the job is a balancing act. In deciding which proctoring solutions strike the right balance between exam vigilance and deference to the privacy of students, schools can use two ideas that are ubiquitous in <a href="https://www.rosalyn.ai/blog/8-essential-online-exam-security-tips-to-maintain-academic-integrity-ros" target="_blank" id="">information security</a> and human interface design: <em id="">minimization</em> and <em id="">personal</em> <em id="">agency</em>.<br></p><blockquote id="">“Minimization is the Principle of reducing needless size, complexity, and overly burdensome assets...Minimization makes the practitioner’s job easier by reducing the number of things to care about, and by extension, the number of things that can go wrong.”<em id=""><br><br></em><a href="https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/security-from-first/9781491996911/" target="_blank" id="">Security from First Principles</a> by Craig Jackson, Scott Russell, Susan Sons</blockquote><blockquote id="">“Experienced users strongly desire the sense that they are in charge of the interface and that the interface responds to their actions. ”<em id=""><br><br></em><a href="https://www.cs.umd.edu/users/ben/goldenrules.html" target="_blank" id="">The Eight Golden Rules of Interface Design</a> by Ben Schneiderman, Univ. of Maryland</blockquote><p id="">Minimization means capturing only that personal information and data needed to make sure students don’t take unfair advantage on an exam. Personal agency is the experience of controlling both one’s body and the external environment. In the context of remote proctoring, applying these principles means that students’ privacy is only intruded on so far as necessary to make sure students don’t take unfair advantage on an exam. &nbsp;</p><p id="">Remote proctoring can be very intrusive. Some browser-based systems can access every file on your computer before, during, and after a test session. They can automatically shut down other applications and take control of your microphone and webcam. &nbsp;Remote proctoring requires some control over the test environment. How much is subject to debate. The respect given to human agency in how that control is ceded and taken back, however, can mean the difference in student sentiment between active support and seething resentment.</p><figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-normal" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="normal" data-rt-max-width=""><div id=""><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/62d16f38feb6847d371ffacc/62e02fe585fdc831112e9d14_60a6ade1f1e51a3633985a1c_online-test-administration-software-monitoring-2.jpg" loading="lazy" id="" width="auto" height="auto"></div></figure>

The credentials and reputation of educational institutions depend on academic integrity.</p><p id="">For some students, an online proctored exam with a webcam is uncomfortable.
