Proctorio

Proctorio offers live, automated, record & review, and secure browser online proctoring. Our technology provides scalable, cost-effective solutions to validating student identity and activity during computer-based exams. We utilize machine learning and facial recognition technologies to monitor students during online exams, flagging suspicious behaviors within a digital gradebook at the conclusion of every assessment. Proctorio integrates directly within existing learning management systems, meaning there are no extra logins to remember, no scheduling of exams, and no changes to either course content or assessments. Proctorio is based out of Scottsdale, Arizona, and was founded by former ASU Online engineers. Staffed by current and former digital learning instructors and students, our implementation and support team is dedicated to student success and academic integrity. Proctorio levels the playing field for online students while promoting confidence in online academic programs, certifications, and employee testing.

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.
