The service is modeled after the in-classroom experience and proctors monitor the entire process in order to ensure that a high level of integrity is maintained throughout the exam process. ProctorU offers live, person-to-person, real-time monitoring to more than 1,000 colleges, universities and certification organizations, including the University of Alabama, the University of Florida and Northwestern University.

VoiceThread

Stunningly simple and accessible, VoiceThread is the future of meaningful communication in a time-shifted world. This cloud-based application brings your media and people’s audio, video, and text commentary together in one online space. The results are highly interactive and engaging conversations that are secure, easy to create, and even easier to participate in. We believe that a stronger human presence in any course will help all types of learners, but achieving this can be a challenge. VoiceThread is the solution. It improves instructor immediacy and social presence in courses while maintaining the flexibility of an asynchronous learning environment. Professors report an improvement in the quality of work that students submit and increased engagement with the coursework when they use VoiceThread. Hearing student voices and seeing their faces helps with comprehension assessment and building social connections. Learning should be personal, interactive, and warm. VoiceThread makes this a reality for any course.
