Proctored Exams

I’m currently taking an online class, and I just received some nice feedback from my instructor. It is amazing how this form of “distance learning” feels so much more productive and engaging than some other classes I have taken. This is probably due in part to the fact that the teacher is one of my favorites, but the majority of my good-feeling about online learning is that I can work at my own pace. I’m not sure how the final will be handled for this course, and I have always wondered how students at online institutions like Capella University take exams and other formal assessments. How do they keep people from cheating, for example? I learned from a press release that since 2005, Capella University has been partnered with ACT centers to provide testing for its students.  Since these centers are just about everywhere, it seems like another easy and convenient way to accomplish one’s education.
