--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Director of Academic Integrity & Compliance (speak, public): To ensure we're making an informed decision about standardizing remote exam proctoring across Continuing Education, I'd like to review our current state and expectations. We have accreditation requirements for identity verification in 85% of our high-stakes exams, which involve two identity checks: photo ID and live face match. Our current academic integrity metrics show 143 misconduct cases in FY2025, with 37% related to exams. We also have specific proctoring policy retention limits and accessibility requirements. I'd like to hear from you both regarding technical readiness and budget impact. What are your initial thoughts on implementing remote proctoring?
[R0.2] IT Security & Integration Lead (speak, public): From an IT perspective, our core platforms are already set up to support proctoring through Canvas LMS with LTI 1.3 and SSO via Azure AD, which covers our 24,000 active learners. The data elements required for proctoring are name, email, and course ID, with an optional government ID image capture for identity verification. However, I'd like to understand more about the specific proctoring policy retention limits and how they might impact our IT systems and security posture.
[R0.3] Finance & Vendor Management Director (speak, public): From a financial perspective, our current on-campus testing center costs are $226,000 per year across three campuses, with a capacity of 220 seats per day. The vendor pricing proposal for remote proctoring is $8.40 per proctored exam, with an annual minimum of 18,000 exams, totaling $151,200 per year. I'd like to understand how the proposed remote proctoring solution aligns with our academic integrity metrics and whether it can help reduce the 37% of misconduct cases related to exams. Additionally, what are the key factors driving the need for remote proctoring, and how does it impact our enrollment projections?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Director of Academic Integrity & Compliance (speak, public): Regarding the proctoring policy retention limits, we retain exam recordings for up to 12 months, and students have 10 business days to appeal. This could impact our storage needs and potentially our IT systems. On the academic integrity side, our current metrics show that 37% of misconduct cases are exam-related, and we're hoping that remote proctoring can help reduce this number. The key driver for remote proctoring is to enhance accessibility while maintaining academic integrity, especially with growing enrollment projections. IT Security & Integration Lead, can you elaborate on the potential IT security implications of storing exam recordings for 12 months and handling the associated data elements?
[R1.2] IT Security & Integration Lead (speak, public): To address the IT security implications, our primary concern is ensuring the secure storage and handling of exam recordings and associated data elements. We currently use Canvas LMS with LTI 1.3, which is compatible with our proctoring solution. However, storing exam recordings for 12 months will require additional storage capacity and potentially impact our data retention policies. I'd like to understand more about the expected volume of recordings and the specific data elements that need to be stored. Additionally, we should consider the security questionnaire results and contractual requirements with our proctoring vendor to ensure they meet our security standards.
[R1.3] Finance & Vendor Management Director (speak, public): To better understand the financial implications, can you confirm if the proposed remote proctoring solution can scale with our growing enrollment projections, and are there any potential cost savings or additional costs associated with implementing this solution?

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Director of Academic Integrity & Compliance (speak, public): To address the financial and scalability concerns, I'd like to share that our accreditor has highlighted identity verification and accommodations as areas for improvement in our prior interim review, with a monitoring report due May 15, 2026. Implementing remote proctoring could help us address these concerns while enhancing accessibility. IT Security & Integration Lead, can you confirm if our current IT infrastructure can handle the expected volume of exam recordings and associated data elements securely? Finance & Vendor Management Director, are there any potential contractual requirements or vendor management considerations we should be aware of when scaling the remote proctoring solution?
[R2.2] IT Security & Integration Lead (speak, public): To address the concerns around IT infrastructure and scalability, our initial assessment indicates that we can handle the expected volume of exam recordings securely, given our current Canvas LMS and Azure AD setup. However, we need to confirm the expected volume of recordings and ensure that our data retention policies align with the 12-month retention requirement. I'd like to request more information on the expected volume of exam recordings and any specific security or compliance requirements we need to meet. Additionally, Finance & Vendor Management Director, can you share more about the contractual requirements with the proctoring vendor, especially regarding scalability and data storage?
[R2.3] Finance & Vendor Management Director (speak, public): To address the contractual requirements and scalability concerns, the vendor has proposed a solution that meets our procurement compliance constraints, including SOC 2 Type II within 12 months and $2M cyber liability insurance. We should review their security questionnaire results to ensure alignment with our standards. Regarding scalability, the proposed solution is designed to handle our growing enrollment projections. I'd like to understand more about the expected volume of exam recordings and associated data elements to better assess potential costs and contractual requirements.

--- Round 3 ---
[R3.1] Director of Academic Integrity & Compliance (speak, public): To ensure we're on the right track, let's summarize our findings. We've discussed the technical readiness, budget impact, and alignment with academic integrity and accreditation requirements. IT Security & Integration Lead, you've confirmed that our current IT infrastructure can handle the expected volume of exam recordings securely. Finance & Vendor Management Director, you've shared that the proposed remote proctoring solution is scalable and meets our procurement compliance constraints. I'd like to now discuss the potential risks and mitigation strategies associated with implementing remote proctoring. Are there any latent implementation risks we should be aware of, such as unresolved security findings or undisclosed pricing pressure?
[R3.2] IT Security & Integration Lead (speak, public): To address the potential risks and mitigation strategies, I'd like to highlight that while our initial security questionnaire results for the vendor scored 82/100, we still need to ensure that our contractual requirements align with our security standards. Additionally, we've estimated an integration effort of 6 weeks with 2 engineers at 0.5 FTE each. I'd like to probe further on any potential latent implementation risks, such as support escalation patterns or commercial constraints that could impact our remediation or uptime commitments.
[R3.3] Finance & Vendor Management Director (speak, public): To address the potential latent implementation risks, I'd like to share that our vendor pricing proposal is $8.40 per proctored exam, with an annual minimum of 18,000 exams. We've also considered the procurement compliance constraints, including SOC 2 Type II within 12 months and $2M cyber liability insurance. One potential risk is the contractual requirement for a minimum number of exams, which could impact our budget if enrollment projections are not met. Additionally, I'd like to understand more about the support escalation patterns and commercial constraints that could impact our remediation or uptime commitments.
