===General FAQs===
'''Why do I have to use Proctorio?'''
 
* For some courses, proctored testing is needed to validate that students can demonstrate the course learning outcomes. Without proctoring, some students may be tempted to cheat. For an in-person class, your instructor is in the room and serves as proctor; Proctorio automates this function for online tests. Increasingly, external accrediting bodies expect (and for some programs, require) colleges to use proctoring to ensure the academic integrity of online testing.
 
 
'''Do all classes use Proctorio?'''
 
* No, only selected classes use Proctorio and in those classes, it may be used for certain tests and not others, as determined by your instructor. If a test or exam uses Proctorio, you will see ''"Proctorio required"'' on the test link.
 
 
'''Is anyone watching me while I take my exam?'''
 
* No. When you take an exam that uses Proctorio, you will be recorded via your webcam and microphone, assuming the standard settings are used for your class. There is no person observing you in real time. The recording can be viewed only by your instructor (and by their supervisor or Sakai support staff, if needed).
 
 
'''Why do I have to show my ID?'''
 
* Depending on the settings for your particular exam, you may be required to show your Durham Tech ID card (or other current photo ID) before starting your proctored exam. This is to confirm that it's you and not someone else taking your exam.

What is Proctorio and how does it work?

Proctorio is an online proctoring system integrated into Sakai that is used in some classes to ensure a fair testing environment.
Exams that use Proctorio are labeled "Proctorio required" in Sakai.

  • On these exams, Proctorio records the student (via webcam) and their computer screen while they are taking the exam.
  • Proctorio also limits their ability to use other materials or to share exam content with others.
  • After the exam, Proctorio's automated software analyzes each student's recorded test session and flags any suspicious activity for the instructor to review. Only the instructor (and their supervisor or Sakai support staff, if needed) can view recordings.


Considerations and Requirements

Please review and consider the items below before requesting Proctorio.

  • Proctorio is intended to be used for remote assessment in Sakai in Online, Blended, and Hybrid courses, only.
  • You are strongly encouraged to visit the Proctorio for Students page to learn more about Proctorio, and how it is presented to students.
  • Proctorio does not detect and identify instances of "cheating". It is the instructor's responsibility to analyze the Proctorio Exam Results and make any judgements.
  • Sample Syllabus Statement
    Add the following statement, or one similar, to your syllabus to ensure your students are aware of the use of the tool and any specific guidelines you have for testing:
  • Some assessments (such as exams) in this course will require the use of an automated, online proctoring tool called Proctorio. The purpose of Proctorio is to promote academic integrity and create a fair testing environment for all students. For details, see go.durhamtech.edu/proctorio-students

    To use Proctorio, you need a computer (Windows, MacOS, Linux, or Chromebook) with a webcam and microphone and with Chrome browser installed. You cannot use a smartphone or tablet. If you do not have access to the required equipment, loaner laptops (Chromebooks) are available for students taking classes that use Proctorio who do not have the required equipment. Laptops may be checked out for the whole semester. Submit the Computer Request Form to request a loaner laptop for proctored online testing.

  • A no-stakes Practice Exam should be offered to the class before the first official exam using Procotio in order for the students to install the Proctorio extension, resolve any technical difficulties, and familiarize themselves with the tool.


Equipment and software required

  • Laptop or desktop computer (Windows, MacOS, Linux, or Chromebook) - You cannot use a smartphone or tablet.
  • Students are also required to have a camera and microphone for testing.
