- Abstract
The article reports on the influence of computer-based in-class examination security software on students' attitudes and examination performance. It applies the expectancy theory using software that prohibits students from viewing unauthorized material during an examination. In a conducted empirical study, it shows that students' attitudes were positively impacted by outcome expectancy, self-efficacy, and the software's ease of use. It concludes that there are manageable actions faculty can take to positively impact student attitude towards security software, and that the security software is neutral with regard to student performance.
