<li style=padding-bottom:3px>Before the class begins, the instructor must submit a request form to have Proctorio set up in their Sakai site(s). Then, the instructor can enable Proctorio on particular exams in Tests & Quizzes.</li>

===General FAQs===
 
−
'''What activities are flagged as "suspicious"?'''
 
−
* Proctorio's automated software analyzes recorded test sessions for suspicious activity that may indicate academic dishonesty. The fact that the software raises a flag does NOT guarantee that an infraction actually took place. It simply alerts an instructor that something occurred during the test session that they may want to review. It is up to the instructor to review any flags and to decide how to proceed. Some scenarios that could raise flags are:
 
−
** Student walks away from their computer during a test
 
−
** Student looks away from their screen for an extended period of time
 
−
** Student uses their phone
 
−
** Student opens additional webpages / resources on their computer that are not allowed
 
−
** Student appears to be talking to someone
 
−
** Unknown noises are detected
 
−
 
 
−
'''Who decides if it's cheating?'''
 
−
* Proctorio does not make decisions about whether or not cheating occurred. Proctorio provides a summary of your activity during the test to your instructor, with flags indicating areas they may want to take a look at. It is up to your instructor to review this information and to determine whether cheating occurred.
 
−
 
 
−
===Privacy FAQs===
 
−
'''What data does Proctorio access?'''
 
−
* Proctorio uses the camera and microphone on your device to record the environment you are testing in. Proctorio also requires you to share your screen so that it can record the activity on your computer screen while you take the exam. Proctorio requires access to Chrome browser to operate, and it has access to your browser through the Proctorio extension. Proctorio cannot access files stored on your computer or change settings on your computer.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Can I turn off or uninstall the Proctorio extension when I am not using it for an exam?'''
 
−
* Yes. See Google's info on [https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/2664769?hl=en installing and managing extensions in Chrome] to learn how to turn off or uninstall an extension. Please note that you will need to turn it back on or reinstall it if you take another exam that uses Proctorio.
 
−
 
 
−
'''How is the information captured by Proctorio used?'''
 
−
* Proctorio shares recordings it captures with your instructor. Your instructor may review this information to determine if any cheating has occurred.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Who can view recordings of my exam?'''
 
−
* Only your instructor (and their supervisor or Sakai support staff, if needed) can view recordings. Recordings are encrypted on Proctorio's system and cannot be viewed by Proctorio employees.
 
−
 
 
−
'''What happens to the recordings after an exam? Are they retained for a certain period of time?'''
 
−
* Recordings are stored for 180 days after the last attempt.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Does Proctorio sell the information it collects?'''
 
−
* No. The information that Proctorio collects is owned by Durham Tech. Student data is never sold or rented to third parties.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Does Proctorio use facial recognition software?'''
 
−
* Proctorio uses facial detection software, rather than facial recognition software. Facial detection software is used to detect the presence of a face. Facial recognition or identification software is used to detect the presence of a particular person’s face. Proctorio’s software is used to determine if the camera is working and that only one person is present. Proctorio attempts to determine whether a student looks away from the exam for too long, detect if the student leaves the testing environment, and determine if a secondary face is present within the testing environment. Proctorio does not collect or store any biometric information.

What is Proctorio and how does it work?

Proctorio is an online, automated proctoring system integrated into Sakai. Durham Tech instructors may choose to use Proctorio in online or hybrid/blended classes for assessments delivered within Sakai.

How does it work?

  • Before the class begins, the instructor must submit a request form to have Proctorio set up in their Sakai site(s). Then, the instructor can enable Proctorio on particular exams in Tests & Quizzes.
  • When a student takes an exam that requires Proctorio, Proctorio records the student (via webcam) and their computer screen while they are taking the exam.
  • During the exam, Proctorio also limits the student's ability to access other resources and 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.

Webinar recording

For an in-depth overview of Proctorio -- including a demo of the student and instructor experience -- view the recording below:

You must be logged in to Durham Tech's Office 365 to view the video.

Considerations and requirements

Please review and consider the items below before requesting to use Proctorio.

  • Proctorio is intended to be used for online and hybrid/blended classes only and for remote assessment (not face-to-face).
  • Proctorio is supported for assessments delivered through Sakai Tests & Quizzes. At this time, it is not supported for assessments on third-party platforms, such as publisher platforms.
  • Proctorio does not detect and identify instances of "cheating". It is the instructor's responsibility to analyze the Proctorio Exam Results and make any judgments. Instructors report spending 15 - 60 minutes per exam reviewing Proctorio results for the class.

Equipment and software required for students

Your students will need the following in order to take tests that use Proctorio:

  • Laptop or desktop computer (Windows, MacOS, Linux, or Chromebook) - Students cannot use a smartphone or tablet.
  • Webcam and microphone
  • Google Chrome browser - Chrome is the only supported browser for using Proctorio on Sakai - download Chrome browser
  • Proctorio extension for Chrome - download free Proctorio extension
  • A stable internet connection

If your students 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.
  • Students must submit Durham Tech's Computer Request Form to request a loaner laptop for proctored online testing.

Syllabus statement

Add the statement linked below, or one similar, to your syllabus to alert students that Proctorio will be used for proctored testing and to let them know the specific equipment they will need.

Practice test

A week or two before the first proctored exam, be sure to provide a no-stakes practice test with Proctorio enabled and require all students to take it. This will allow students to install the Proctorio extension, resolve any technical difficulties, and familiarize themselves with the tool.

How to request Proctorio for your classes

Submit the form below before your class begins to have Proctorio set up and available in your Sakai site(s).

Proctorio Request Form
