With Hurricane Milton approaching the West coast of Florida this week, the area expects evacuations with an unknown end in sight. Schools are likely to be closed at least through this week, and possibly longer, due to the impending destruction caused by the storm. Proctorio announced today that it will expand its offer of providing online proctoring free of charge for anyone affected by hurricane season this year, allowing students to take exams from distant and remote locations.
In regard to the upcoming Hurricane Milton and the rest of this year’s hurricane season, Founder and CEO, Mike Olsen, stated, “In the aftermath of a hurricane, we're dedicated to supporting education. Our free online proctoring ensures that learning continues, even in difficult times. We're here to help institutions and students stay on track.”
We understand extensive efforts to arrange logistics for relocating students to other schools are likely to take place with the storms that have already taken place and those imminent. Aware of the difficulties caused by the natural disasters, and the challenges of shifting from in-person to online learning between Hurricane Helene, now Milton, and future storms, Proctorio is dedicated to offering as much support as possible to help students through this transition.
If your school has been negatively affected by hurricane season, and you would like to find out how Proctorio can help students take remote online exams, please reach out to Proctorio: [email protected].
