The Element of Choice: Online Students' Perceptions of Online Exam Proctoring
Tay McEdwards; Greta R. Underhill
Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, v28 n1 2025
Online learning has steadily increased since well before the COVID-19 pandemic (Seaman et al., 2018), but research has yet to explore online students' perceptions of online exam proctoring methods. The purpose of this exploratory study was to understand the perceptions of fully online students regarding types of proctoring at a large state university in the United States of America. Specifically, this study sought to understand online students' a) perceptions of proctoring features, b) perceptions of proctoring types, and c) satisfaction with proctoring types and features. Closed- and open-ended survey responses provided insight into online students' perceptions regarding proctoring features such as free to use, 24/7 access, accessible through a computer, and no scheduling needed. Descriptive statistics found that Online AI (automated proctoring) was their preferred type of proctoring, followed by Online Live, and In-Person and open-ended questions provided context for their experiences. In all, results elucidated proctoring features of importance, as well as misconceptions and concerns about proctoring types for online exams.
