Excelsior College and ProctorU announce online proctoring service for CourXamBIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Excelsior College's Center for Educational Measurement announced today a partnership with ProctorU to deliver online proctoring services for CourXams, Excelsior's new and innovative educational product. A CourXam is a combination of a self-paced digital college course and a college credit exam, and addresses the critical concerns of today's higher education students: portability, convenience and affordability. Through ProctorU Live proctoring, students will now be able to take exams from anywhere using only a computer, webcam and internet connection. Under the agreement, Excelsior College will integrate ProctorU Live proctoring service into CourXam offerings, providing students the highest levels of online security and ultimate convenience. With live proctoring, a proctor guides a student through the identification verification process, assists with launching their exam and monitors exam administration via webcam. If any unusual or unpermitted behavior is observed during an exam, the proctr will intervene and Excelsior College will be notified at the end of the testing session. "Excelsior College is proud to partner with ProctorU on the delivery of our new CourXam products," said Laurie Carbo-Porter, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs at Excelsior College. "ProctorU provides our students with the flexibility to test from convenient locations such as their home or office." "We are excited to have Excelsior College deliver its CourXam offerings through ProctorU," said Scott McFarland, ProctorU CEO. "We understand how mission critical it is to provide identification verification and test security while also making the examination process as simple as possible for students. We look forward to making CourXam more widely available with the addition of our live online proctoring service."
