Boosting student retention and providing a robust testing environment are two challenges facing eLearning leaders. In this presentation a review of literature will reveal that students often drop out due to non-cognitive factors such as procrastination, time management, and technology skills. The SmarterMeasure Learning Readiness Indicator is the leading assessment of non-cognitive skills. Score reports from the assessment map the student's scores to resources for support. Testing integrity and learner authentication continue to be challenges. SmarterProctoring is the first Proctoring Process Management System, which allows schools to provide multiple proctoring modalities such as testing centers, human proctors, and virtual proctors. Through dashboards embedded into the LMS faculty, students, administrators and proctors can all track the full proctoring process for multiple modaliaties in real time for each student.
