The purpose of this descriptive survey study was to determine the comfort of nurse practitioner (NP) students with webcam invigilation of online examinations and the effectiveness of webcam invigilation in preventing students from cheating. An online questionnaire was developed for NP students currently enrolled in Ontario's Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner program, in which online examinations are invigilated through a webcam. All students were contacted via e-mail and invited to participate in the online questionnaire. The response rate was 77%. Data were collected and analyzed. Results demonstrated that webcam invigilation can be an uncomfortable experience and that cheating on webcam-invigilated examinations is possible. The results will contribute to the scarce literature available on webcam invigilation of online examinations, but research with a larger sample is needed if results are to be generalized to the webcam invigilation process.
本描述性调查研究旨在确定护士从业者（NP）学生对在线考试网络监考的舒适度，以及网络监考在防止学生作弊方面的有效性。为安大略省初级保健护士从业者计划中目前注册的 NP 学生开发了一个在线问卷，其中通过网络摄像头监考在线考试。通过电子邮件联系所有学生，并邀请他们参加在线问卷。回复率为 77%。收集和分析数据。结果表明，网络监考可能是一种不舒服的体验，在网络监考的考试中作弊是可能的。研究结果将有助于补充有关在线考试网络监考的稀缺文献，但如果要将结果推广到网络监考过程，还需要进行更大样本的研究。
