چکیده (انگلیسی):

The authors studied the testing pattern grades in four e-campus courses at Troy University with 76
graduate students. In their research, the authors found significant differences in average test
grade scores between tests taken electronically without a proctor as compared to those
administered using a live or a remote proctor overall. To control for differences among courses, a
statistical test was solely conducted on the courses which had the same instructor, same text, and
similar tests with comparable results; students scored significantly lower on proctored exams
versus non-proctored exams. To enhance the quality of courses in the online environment, the
researchers recommend several “best practices” pedagogical strategies based on their findings
and an extensive literature review.
