According to the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Rev. Prof. Kwabena Agyapong-Kodua, the digital invigilation is a component of digitisation Pentvars is rolling out in all of its operations. Prof. Agyapong-Kodua added that, “it will go a long way to enhance controls for the integrity of our examination processes and build the needed behavioural changes among students.” He added that, “technology when used appropriately can constrain unwanted behaviours and enhance the development of right attitudes to situations.”

The Head of Digital Services of the University, Mr. Emmanuel A. Agyekum said enough notices are posted at vantage points to create awareness about the development for the students.

IT student, “it reduced tension and interruptions.”On her part, Ms. Eva Garima, a Level 200 BSc.
