Online exam proctoring allows Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs in different geographical locations to be monitored while taking exams through webcams and screen monitoring technologies. The Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ uses ProctorU for proctoring exams online. 

Through ProctorU, Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs can schedule exam appointments 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs are responsible for the proctoring fees. Faculty should notify Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs of any additional costs at the beginning of the semester.

Faculty do have the option of allowing Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs to be proctored in-person at a remote location, in which case the faculty member would need to provide the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ with the Proctor Approval Form and have the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ complete and obtain all approvals.

Adaptive course design using RealizeIt is a new way to present personalized, customizable courses that provide Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs with a fundamentally different experience than they would have in standard online or hybrid courses. 

The RealizeIt platform houses all the learning materials, activities, and formative assessments for specific learning units. As Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs progress through the course, the platform automatically directs them to the most appropriate content for their current level of understanding. Some Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs will be directed to proceed to the next lesson or choice of lessons, while others will be guided towards remediation of previous material. The platform is constantly learning about each Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ’s behavior and performance and providing guidance to help them to attain the learning goals of the course.

Realizeit integrates into the Moodle gradebook and allows for direct linking of coursework with single sign-on for the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs, who can purchase an access code from the UL Lafayette Bookstore. 

Eligible faculty may be able to receive stipends through departmental Distance Learning Funds for improving an online course and/or transitioning to the use of OER.

Features and benefits of adaptive learning include: 

If you are interested in using RealizeIt for your course, follow the following process:

Step 1. Assess whether your course is a good fit. 

Courses that require Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs to build a knowledge base or demonstrate a skill that can be measured by objective means are very good candidates for adaptive courseware. 

Characteristics include: 

• Current or planned use of open educational resources (OER).
• Quantitative assessments.

Courses that rely heavily on subjective assignments, such as forums, research projects, papers, portfolios, etc. are not a good fit as they miss out on the redirection and remediation aspects of RealizeIt.

Step 2. Apply. 

Complete the and email a signed endorsement form to distancelearning@louisiana.edu. 

Please note: Your application is not complete until we have received your endorsement form. 

Step 3. Design your course in RealizeIt.

The design process includes three phases, assisted by an instructional designer. 

Phase 1: Planning 

• Identifying Course/Module Learning Objectives 
• Defining and Aligning Modules and Lessons 
• Defining Prerequisites 

Phase 2: Development 

• Providing Lesson Content 
• Creating Activities and Assessments 
• Finalizing Grading Options and Instructions 

Phase 3: Delivery 

• Defining Due Dates for Modules 
• Linking Modules to Moodle 
• Discussing Common Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ Issues

Turnitin is an online tool that allows faculty to provide detailed feedback on written assignments with the added benefit of ensuring that Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵs are submitting original and properly cited work. 

Choose Turnitin for: 

• Essay and paper submissions 
• Projects that are primarily text-based 
• Robust annotation options 
• Robust rubric creation and application options
• Similarity/Originality report for plagiarism detection 
• Optional automatic grammar checking 

Features of Turnitin include:

• Full integration with Moodle, including Gradebook 
• Ability to leave textual, visual, and audio feedback 
• Custom rubric creation and grading

• AI writing detection

Turnitin’s AI writing detection uses generative AI to detect patterns of writing commonly produced by generative AI and reports the results in the form of a score predicting the probability of AI-generated material.
