Create a Proctored Exam with Proctortrack

Create a Proctored Exam with Proctortrack#

After you enable proctored exams with Proctortrack for your course, you can create proctored exams.

To create a proctored exam for Proctortrack, you first create a single Onboarding exam subsection in your course, and then create one or more proctored exam subsections.

The Onboarding exam is a practice proctored experience which ensures the learner’s computer passes system requirements and establishes the learner’s identity with Verificient by creating an onboarding profile.

Creating an Onboarding Subsection#

Proctortrack requires all learners to complete an onboarding process before they take a proctored exam. In the onboarding process, learners download and install the necessary client software and verify their identity with Proctortrack.

Note

Onboarding includes a mandatory identity verification step which establishes an identity baseline with Verificient. This is required to gain access to the first Proctored Exam, and can take 5+ business days for learners to complete, so we recommend you:

Create an Onboarding subsection in the first section of any course using Proctortrack proctoring, as described below.
Add in-course messaging that completing Onboarding early is important.
Nudge learners who have not yet completed Onboarding a week before the first proctored exam.

To set up Proctortrack onboarding for your course, follow these steps.

Add and develop a subsection as you would any other subsection.
1. Change the name to something clear to learners, like “Proctortrack Onboarding”.
2. As in the note above, add instructions to learners, explaining why it is important to complete Onboarding early.
3. Position the Onboarding subsection at an early stage in your course - we recommend positioning it in the first section.
Select the Configure icon for the subsection.
The Settings dialog box opens to the Basic tab.
In the Grading section, set the assignment type and due date for the subsection.
Select the Advanced tab, and then locate the Set as a Special Exam section.
Select the exam type to Onboarding.

Note

Once the exam content has been released to students, the special exam type cannot be modified.
Select Save.
