Lesson 02: Roles And Competencies Required for Human Resources

• Who are the main actors involved in proctoring systems? What are their roles?
• What competencies are required for reliable proctoring?  

These are the questions that we'll address in this learning activity. Think about how different roles shape the proctoring experience.

Online proctoring must be seen as a part of the complete assessment cycle and this cycle combines systems and processes to author test items and tasks, to assemble test items into tests, to administer these tests to learners under correct and controlled conditions, to collect responses and to execute scoring and grading.

Given high demands for security and preventing and detecting cheating, yet allowing for a smoothly run, uninterrupted exam process, exams must be designed and administered in a manner that is easy to understand and control, but at the same time requires high personal and academic standards of behavior from all stakeholders involved in the examination process. These stakeholders include learners, academic faculty members, examiners, exam boards and proctors, as well as information technology (IT) and administrative staff.
