DISTANCE LEARNING AD HOC COMMITTEE
The committee is proposing the following resolution:
"Due to the inherent challenges of effectively proctoring the
increasing number of Laulima-based student assessments for both
distance education and non-distance education classes, and in order to
align with the distance education student assessment requirements for
WASC senior accreditation, we propose to increase proctor and IT
staffing for testing centers as well as to increase necessary
resources for testing centers.
Examples of such security challenges include the following:
-lock-down secure browsers/programs for proctored exams
-a way to insure that students' Laulima accounts cannot be logged into
from different computers at the same time
-proctor training and student access to test files/passwords/etc.
-use of proctoring sites to administer exams if you are not a distance
ed teacher"
