Proctorless learning

Is there an updated list somewhere of schools that offer proctorless learning programs? I'm compiling a list of links for my own use based on some of the responses here in this thread. I haven't found much else online outside of this site. Are there any other schools I should know about?

 

Not sure if this will work for you, but University of West Alabama's online programs require a remote proctordevice when taking exams.

It comes at a cost of around $180. Attaches to your computer (but is not compatible with Macs).

The remote proctor system is very cool - only drawback is UWA has very limited degree programs to choose from. I'd like see them offer some more certificate programs in computer technology and also some accounting programs.

 

In some schools, usage of proctor is at the discretion of the Prof and could change overtime while the class is already on.

Somehow, if we could know in precise term(s) while you do not want a proctored exam, maybe one could let you know as far as you can run away from schools with uncertainties.

 

WHY proctorless?

I don't know about everyone else, but for me, proctorless is the only way to go. I have health issues that change my ability to speak/write/type/think from one hour to the next. I don't know what day, much less what time, I'm going to be capable of taking my test. Trying to find a proctor who's willing to let me take my exam tonight, at midnight, would be a bit difficult, but that's when I need to be able to do my work.

I also know a man who finished his degree at the top of a mountain while as a lookout for wildfires. Proctors weren't an option for him.

My sister is completely unable to drive. She often does not leave her house for weeks at a time. Proctorless is the only way she can work it with her life.

I have two friends who do not live on a road system or in or near a community. Proctorless options make a degree doable.

I guess what I'm trying to say is not everybody lives in the same place as or with the same set of circumstances. I've read on here several times "That shouldn't matter - that's not what's most important!" The fact is that money, or area of study, or mode of instruction, or accreditation, or timetable, or even proctors can be the deal-breaker for some people finishing their formal education. Just because someone is concerned about a specific matter, which didn't effect you, does not mean that they are just lazy or stupid or dishonest. What is a moot point for one person may be absolutely vital for another.

 

Fantastic post and very true. There ARE valid reasons why certain people can't or won't subject themselves to proctoring.
