DESCRIPTION

This is a (20m) overview of Digital Proctor's unique, software-only approach to maintaining academic integrity in hybrid or online academic environments. Propelled by our typing pattern recognition technology, Digital Proctor is able to verify student identity without requiring students to download anything or schedule creepy proctors to watch them take exams! Also, we've got a neat plagiarism detection tool that gives faculty members peace of mind knowing they can post online assessments without students just "Googling" the questions and pasting in answers from the web. Finally, we've built a neat collusion tool to identify when students are working together when they shouldn't be. Email [email protected] with questions or call (512) 921-6138

Setting clear expectations

6

If a professor makes clear that he disapproves of cheating, either in the syllabus, in the first

class, or at the beginning of a test, academic honesty can rise by 12%*

“Please don’t cheat!”

*Joe Kerkvliet and Charles L. Sigmund, "Can We Control Cheating in the Classroom?", The Journal of Economic Education 30, no. 4, (Autumn, 1999), 331.
