Questionmark and ProctorU Partner to Provide Convenient, Secure Testing

Assessment technology and services provider Questionmark and ProctorU are joining forces to bring added security for higher-stakes exams taken outside a testing center.

The comprehensive authoring, delivery and reporting capabilities of Questionmark’s assessment management system combine with ProctorU’s live monitoring service to provide both unprecedented convenience and proven security. Exam takers can complete assessments using almost any webcam and computer, anywhere in the world while still ensuring the integrity of the exam.

Using webcams, screen-sharing technology and proven authentication techniques, live monitors oversee participants taking their examinations from home, work, or anywhere. The monitor can see and hear the examinee and provide pre-exam assistance, technical support and maintains the integrity of the testing process.

”The integration of technology and services provides a seamless experience and brings the test center to the candidate”, said Don Kassner, President of ProctorU. “This combination creates real time monitoring and enhanced security to assure that the test attempt is fair.”

“Online monitoring of exams is coming of age as higher internet speeds enable this technology”, said Eric Shepherd, CEO of Questionmark. “This additional feature complements our blended delivery strategy and aligns well with our goal of delighting assessment participants wherever they might be.”

Institutions using the combined technologies of Questionmark and ProctorU can provide positive experiences for candidates by allowing them to take tests wherever it is most convenient, while giving institutions reliable, secure monitoring services. Tests taken in this way provide a cost-effective, time-saving alternative to administering exams in test centers, while producing well-documented results.
