IFETS Forum Members:
I am investigating the dilemma facing distance educators regarding
assessment of student work (higher education and corporate training
settings). At issue is the matter of validating that the products
submitted by students participating in distance education programs are
their own work.
In a classroom environment, the professor/instructor also doubles as a
proctor for most products that their students submit (tests, papers,
projects, etc.). However, as education programs become dispersed
through technology, the proctoring oversight offered by the "facilitator
of learning" on students he or she never sees is almost
eliminated.
I would be interested in your views or experience as to what policies,
procedures, or practices are in use...or could be placed in use...to
validate student work. Additionally, if you have any references
(Internet assessable or otherwise) please include them in your response.
Those who are interested in my research may receive a copy of my paper
once I've completed it...just ask.
