  • Live ID verification;
  • Immediate suspicion reports;
  • Administrator dashboard;
  • Aggregate exam data;
  • Customizable settings;

"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."
