NCCER Enhances Testing with Automated Remote Proctoring

Module testing with The National Center for Construction Education and Research is available at any time and from any location with automated remote proctoring. Partnering with Invigulus, an online remote proctoring platform, this updated technology allows students to take tests at their convenience. In addition, it allows instructors to assign tests without the worry of coordinating times and locations.

While students can take tests remotely through automated remote proctoring, the integrity of the test will still be maintained through student identity confirmation and webcam monitoring. Video recording during a testing session helps flag any suspicious activity or behavior. This information is audited after the test and is stored for 30 days.

“Automated remote proctoring offers a sustainable and affordable long-term solution for offsite testing options,” said NCCER President and CEO Boyd Worsham. “We are looking forward to leveraging this innovative technology to further enhance the learning experience.”

NCCER will provide training videos and guides for instructors and students interested in utilizing automated remote proctoring. All sessions will incur a $3 remote proctoring fee, pass or training recommended.

NCCER’s Basic Remote Proctoring option for craft module tests remains available to all NCCER accredited organizations and sponsored organizations. Unlike automated remote proctoring, basic remote proctoring requires a physical proctor along with a video recording of the testing session sent to NCCER.
