Abstract
Online education has become a major force in higher education. Both the number of students taking online courses and the number of courses offered as grown at a double digit rate. As this nontraditional means of course delivery has grown and developed, however, faculty members have discovered new challenges to ensuring academic integrity. Faculty have been reluctant to adopt online courses without some assurance of honesty by the course participants. In response to this concern, new technologies are emerging to verify the identities of online course participants and to reduce the opportunities for academic dishonesty. This study was conducted to examine the feasibility and impact of one such technological solution, the SoftwareSecure System, in an online business course. The system was evaluated and student feedback was collected to determine what influence a 360 degree camera recording would have on the testing environment. Challenges to the delivery of the system are discussed.
