During the test
What happens during the test?
For the student taking a Proctorio-monitored exam is almost like taking any other Moodle test. As soon as the student starts taking the test in Moodle he or she will be notified that the test is being monitored.
In addition, a very detailed overview is provided of what is being monitored or controlled during the test. This text varies depending on what the educator has chosen in the settings.
After that, a system diagnostics test is performed to determine whether the computer is equipped with the required additional devices and test the internet connection’s reliability.
Before starting the test, students are reminded of typical concerns that may interfere with or interrupt taking the test.
After that, the identification of the student begins. When the automated ID Verification setting is enabled by the exam administrator the test-takers webcam captures an image of the test-taker’s ID card. The image is then available for review by the exam administrator within the Proctorio Gradebook.
A green rectangle is displayed on the screen, inside of which the ID card should be placed for automatic saving. This step of the process does not always work automatically. In reality, this function works correctly in a few cases out of ten. If not working correctly, the ID-card identification should be started manually.
The system does not make any advanced triangulation between the face and the document image. It is possible to show any other card instead, for example, Alexela's customer card. See After taking the test page for more detailed information.
After the document verification, the student will reach the last page before the test starts, showing the biometric data collected about him/her. On this page, the student must agree to the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.
The test itself is similar to the regular Moodle test. In addition, the Quiz Tools plug-in is displayed on the page where the calculator and note-taking page can be run during the exam.
At the end of the test, all computer and camera monitoring is stopped.
