Proctored Exams are similar to Homework or Quiz assignments, but with an additional security measure to confirm the identity of the student taking the test.
All Proctored tests require a proctor to authorize students submitting their test for grading.
You can require proctor authorization to validate student identity and grant assignment access at the start of a proctored exam. Select the Also require proctor sign-in to start session option in the Type of Assignment group box of the Set Policies tab.
Students must be registered in your class. They are required to provide their student login and password to access assignments in addition to proctor authorization.
There are two types of proctors: Global and Local.
Global proctors are defined by the System Administrator and can give authorization for any class.
Local proctors are defined by the Instructor and can only give authorization for a particular class.
Proctors can give authorization directly, at the student's computer, or remotely through the Proctor Tools Main Menu. In both cases the proctor must sign in by giving a login name and password.
Note: To give authorization remotely, the proctor must login using the Proctor Login option on the Class Home Page. The Proctor Tools Main Menu opens.
