Online test-proctoring services have become increasingly popular among higher education institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. These services provide many benefits to students: greater control over their physical testing environment; greater flexibility in the test scheduling; and electronic administration eliminates the burden of handwritten essays. Institutions also enjoy many benefits from the use of online testing modules: lightening of the administrative burden relating to the hiring of test proctors and provision of physical space for testing; removal of geographic barriers for testing of students off campus and abroad; introduction of novel means to safeguard academic integrity.
