Kent State U to Combat Cheating with Proctorio

Kent State University is teaming up with Proctorio to protect the academic integrity of online exams in its undergraduate, graduate and certificate programs. Proctorio will provide identity verification, exam proctoring and 24/7 live support for the university's online learners.

Features of the proctoring platform include:

  • Unscheduled proctoring, allowing instructors to set up proctored exams on demand;
  • Live ID verification;
  • Immediate suspicion reports;
  • Administrator dashboard;
  • Aggregate exam data;
  • Customizable settings;
  • Single sign-on Blackboard integration; and
  • iKeepSafe-certified student privacy protections, data use and security protocols.

"Adding Proctorio to our educational technology toolbox helps to ensure the academic integrity of our courses as well as the reputation and quality of a degree from Kent State University," said Paul Creed, III, Kent State technology project director, in a statement. "As a leader in online higher education in Ohio and the nation, Kent State University is dedicated to the highest standards and Proctorio helps us to meet that goal."
