Proctorio
What is Proctorio?
Proctorio is a secure exam monitoring platform that integrates with Canvas and ONLY works within the Chrome web browser. This automated system lets instructors decide which settings to use for each exam with the click of a mouse.
Proctorio offers customizable recording and lock down options in addition to security tools that prevent unauthorized web surfing and/or content capture. All internet browsing can be blocked or specific links within the exam can be whitelisted. Proctorio prevents test distribution by restricting the ability to copy and paste, print, and/or save as PDF, while automatically clearing caches and disabling extensions during the assessment to keep exam content secure.
If you plan on incorporating Proctorio in your exams, please ensure that you and your students have the following installed on your computers (Proctorio only works on a computer, tablet and phone support is not available)
Instructors and students must have the following installed on their device (one-time task):
- Chrome browser: System requirements (Links to an external site) (Windows, Mac, Linux)
- Proctorio browser extension download (Links to an external site)
