Closing the Modality Gap: How Layered Security Strengthens Online Proctoring
Concerns about a “modality gap” between remote and in-person testing continue to challenge assessment programmes, but are these differences really about delivery mode, or the strength of security controls? In this webinar, we explore how layered approaches to online proctoring (combining identity verification, environment monitoring, behavioural analysis, and advanced analytics) are helping organisations prevent, detect, and deter AI-enabled cheating and impersonation.
Drawing on real-world outcomes from large-scale programmes, we’ll examine how innovations like second-camera monitoring and cross-session analysis are enhancing visibility and control in remote environments. Join us for a practical discussion on how stronger, integrated security measures can deliver comparable results across modalities—supporting score validity, scalability, and stakeholder confidence in an evolving threat landscape.
About the e-Assessment Association
The e-Assessment Association (eAA) is the global, independent community for professionals involved in digital assessment. As a not-for-profit organisation, we connect practitioners, technology providers, educators, awarding organisations and researchers around the world to share expertise, set standards and champion the trusted use of technology to transform assessment practice and policy. Our community offers valuable insights, events, resources and opportunities that support professional growth and innovation across all sectors of education and assessment.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and Networks are at the heart of our collaborative activity. SIGs bring together members with shared interests in specific areas of digital assessment to exchange ideas, share best practice and advance their collective expertise. Through focused discussions, webinars, working groups and content contributions, SIGs help shape the agenda in areas such as AI in assessment, accessibility, online proctoring, workforce mobility and more.
Our Networks provide facilitated communities for specific audiences. For example, the Awarding Organisation (AO) Network supports assessment organisations to collaborate, share experience and develop practice in technology-enabled assessment delivery.
We encourage you to explore all that the eAA has to offer. Visit www.e-assessment.com to find upcoming events, join a Special Interest Group, access resources, and become part of our vibrant global community. Members can log in to view exclusive content, engage with peers and help shape the future of digital assessment.
