An online proctor is a relatively new position created with the advent of MOOCs, or massive open online courses. As an online proctor, your duties center on preventing cheating and malfeasance by the test taker when completing an online exam. This area has been a challenge for universities wanting to enroll students in their programs so that they can gain the necessary credentials. Your responsibilities are identical to a proctor operating in a normal space, but for the addition of online considerations. You monitor the testing process using software to verify each individual’s identity, prevent fraud, and guarantee the completion of a test or exam.
