The camera that is used at Troy, which is made by Massachusetts-based Software Secure, eventually could monitor all of Troy University's distance learners.

The students, however, show great enthusiasm for the practice and are able to break down the structure of complex sentences with skill and they do so in a competitive
("House Passes Bill to," 2006, p. A06) Another general false conception is that "colleges are increasing need-based scholarships as opposed to merit-based scholarships...
