With the growth of distance education and remote testing options, the need for online proctoring of test takers has exploded. Kryterion meets this need with a variety of solutions to meet the needs of our clients in the distance education, information technology and other certification institutions.

Our clients find that Kryterion offers the right blend of convenience for the test taker, appropriate authentication and security for the institution. Our solutions are not limited to a single technology but instead offer the correct mix of components that meet our clients' requirements for cost and effectiveness.

Components of Online Proctoring

Online proctoring solutions are a blend of technology and human interaction. The technology includes hardware and software. Kryterion online proctoring solutions accommodate on-board cameras commonly found on today's laptops and more advanced USB cameras that offer wider view of the test taker and surrounding environment. Audio monitoring can also be accommodated via on-board or attached microphone.

Kryterion software solutions also vary with client needs, from simple remote monitoring of the tester to a variety of browser lockdowns, software connectivity with learning management systems (LMS) or test delivery systems (TDS).

Both software and hardware may be involved in authentication, which makes sure the testers are who they say they are. These range from comparison to photo id to keystroke analysis and biometric technologies.

All solutions are reliant on quality personnel to manage them. Kryterion proctors, technicians and supervisors are considered career team members. Proctor training and certification ensure the quality of the human element of online proctoring. Kryterion has pioneered both the Professional Proctor™ and Certified Professional Proctor™ roles for its proctoring staff. Each proctor undergoes rigorous and ongoing training.
