Remote Proctor Now is a cost-effective, on-demand testing solution for any group size, from one test instance to thousands.

Students can take tests at their convenience, in the comfort of their own homes, using their own computer and a webcam. Remote Proctor Now eliminates the need for acquiring new hardware or software, student set-up and scheduling. Remote Proctor Now collects and stores the video from the students webcam, creates a video stream of everything displayed on the student’s computer screen, and the exam-time audio feed. Using the robust back-end technology and services associated with the gold-standard Remote Proctor Pro solution, each Remote Proctor Now exam video and audio record is reviewed by multiple Certified Video Review Specialists, protecting the academic integrity of every online exam.

“We are honored to be a finalist for the second consecutive year in the CODiE Awards,” said Douglas M. Winneg, founder and CEO of Software Secure. “Remote Proctor Now was designed from inception to bring integrity to distance learning programs, without sacrificing student convenience.
