In this field experiment, students were randomly assigned to virtual proctoring or to traditional on-campus examination to evaluate the effect, nature, and timing of implementation barriers for online proctoring in higher education. Virtual proctoring technology is credited to increase the accessibility of exams by enabling students to participate in exams at any time and place. The results show that the uptake in the traditional examination setting in this study was six times higher due to technical hurdles that students experienced with the virtual proctoring software. When alleviating these implementation barriers by offering all students the chance to participate in an unproctored retake, students initially assigned to virtual proctoring still showed a significantly lower uptake rate. Students disengagement could not be related student characteristics, such as performance levels and motivation.

虚拟监考中实施障碍的影响：荷兰高等教育的随机现场实验

在这个实地实验中，学生被随机分配到虚拟监考或传统的校园考试中，以评估高等教育在线监考实施障碍的效果、性质和时机。虚拟监考技术使学生能够随时随地参加考试，从而提高了考试的可及性。结果表明，由于学生在使用虚拟监考软件时遇到的技术障碍，本研究中传统考试环境的采用率高出六倍。在通过为所有学生提供参与无监考重考的机会来缓解这些实施障碍时，最初分配到虚拟监考的学生仍然表现出明显较低的接受率。
