Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease) August 19, 2011 - Kryterion Incorporated hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony and grand opening event July 22, 2011 to celebrate a new office for the world's first centralized online proctor operations located in Tempe, Ariz.

"It's great for Kryterion, great for Tempe and most importantly it's great for the advancement of distance education," said Kryterion CEO William Dorman.

The technology to proctor distance learning and certification exams comes at a crucial time in the advancement of distance education. According to Dorman, the technology will enable people across the world to participate in high-level education.

City of Tempe Councilmember Onnie Shekerjian expressed the importance of distance learning technologies for the future advancement of education. According to Shekerjian, the facility resolves important issues in distance education.

The Kryterion online proctor center eliminates a potential conflict of interest when teachers are proctors for their own students. It also enables institutions to ensure that the person taking the test is actually the person that is supposed to take the test.

"This is a huge advancement in distance education," said Shekerjian. "Being able to put the power of education into everyone's hands without worrying about what zip code you live in is a great equalizer in terms of education."

The Kryterion facility employs 40 Arizona residents including Certified Proctors™. The 4,069 square foot building provides a warm modern working environment that senior management plans to expand as the demand for online proctoring increases.

"These Certified Proctors provide an important service," concluded Dorman. "They are not only interacting with students - but also professionals receiving corporate certification."

Kryterion is a full-service test development and delivery company that provides world-class online testing technology integrating item banking, test delivery and real time reports; while leveraging a global network of testing centers.
