A virtually proctored exam is an exam that is taken online under supervised conditions. During a virtually proctored exam, learners download and install proctoring software on their own computers and complete the exam within a specified time frame. The proctoring software helps ensure the security and integrity of the exam process.
A proctor, acting as a liaison between edX and the learners, plays a crucial role in the virtually proctored exam. The proctor verifies the identity of the learner by checking their government-issued photo ID. They also monitor the learners during the exam to ensure they adhere to the exam rules, such as not using unauthorized aids. The proctor ensures that learners follow the instructions provided by the instructor to maintain the integrity and fairness of the exam.
By using virtually proctored exams, the MicroMasters Program in Statistics and Data Science ensures that learners can take exams remotely while still maintaining a controlled and secure testing environment.
