Distance Learning and Accreditation | Myths & Mandates — What You Need to Know

Campus Technology is hosting a free webinar on Distance Learning and Accreditation | Myths & Mandates — What You Need to Know on June 21, 2012 at 1 pm CT/2 pm ET.

There are good reasons why online exam integrity has become a critical success factor for a number of accreditation and distance education expansion initiatives. Online test integrity and student authentication issues can halt the expansion of an institution’s online program and potentially threaten its reputation and accreditation status.

Discover how the University of West Alabama and the University of South Alabama implemented a secure testing environment across its online programs and how technology solutions are a key part of their re-accreditation strategy. These solutions added security measures such as biometric identity verification and remote proctoring technologies to online learning initiatives.
Key takeaways from this presentation:
  • How amendments to the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) can affect your institution’s accreditation of its online learning program(s)
  • Safely securing the online testing environment, protecting the integrity of distance learning
  • Additional security measures to preemptively address the future revisions to HEOA policies
