Abstract
Institutions of higher education are concerned that academic honesty violations undermine the integrity of their online degree programs (D’Souza & Siegfeldt, 2017). In an effort to combat cheating, many institutions are requiring remote proctoring software for online course exams. The College of Business from a mid-size, regional university in the southeast tried several online proctoring solutions over the past few years, including automated proctoring, recorded proctoring, and live proctoring. This study focused on one aspect--the relationship between student exam means and online proctoring solutions as vehicles to protect academic integrity and to better ensure that student test scores more accurately reflect knowledge gains. Current research suggests that as the level of proctoring increases the level of academic dishonesty decreases (Hylton, Levy, & Dringus, 2016). However, the relevance of this research is in showing that recorded proctoring, with the assistance of artificial intelligence, can be just as effective as live one-on-one proctoring.
