Pre-Requisites:

  1. Integration needs to be in place between the Testing platform/LMS and SecureProctor
  2. Your account needs to be active on SecureProctor

Proctoring Guide:

In SecureProctor system, we have 3 personas to conduct smooth Remote proctoring:
  1. Authorizer: Allows the candidate to start the Proctoring and enter into the system.
  2. Proctor: Proctor the candidates allocated to them for the duration of their exams.
  3. Super Proctor: Monitors the Proctor activities and keeps a tab on the complete Examination drive. This functionality provides an end-to-end visibility to the complete Live Proctored drive.

Authorization Process:

Usually, the first step towards monitoring the candidate is to first authorize him/her to start the test. When you select the assessments to authorize, you would start seeing the all the candidates who are currently waiting to be authorized.
Candidates will be available in Authorization Queue only if Authorization setting has been enabled for the Quiz/Assessment they are attempting.




For every candidate that you see, you will see the following window( the UI of window can be switched using "Switch View" toggle, as shown in the image below). In the window, you will also see the registration fields of the candidate along with the live clicked photo and ID card photo.



To authorize a candidate, you can perform various action using the various buttons available on the authorization window.
  1. Check the details which are provided by the candidate
  2. Ask the candidate to resubmit the details in case the provided details are not clear or do not match with your records
  3. See the resubmit history i.e. how many times the candidate has been asked to resubmit the details
  4. Live text chat with the candidate
  5. Allow the candidate


Proctoring Process:

All the Proctors, who are allotted "My Candidates" permission can proctor the candidates. To Proctor the Exam, select the Assessments you want to Proctor and Click on the Live Feed Button.

Students move in to the Live Feed view and are allocated to the Proctors as soon as they start their Quiz from the LMS/Assessment Platform.




In the "My Candidate" View, as soon as the Proctors click on "Start Allocation" the students starts getting allocated to them.



Proctoring Dashboard Overview:



Once the Proctor clicks on a Candidate Tile, the following UI is shown to them:

Proctor Selection

Super Proctor can select multiple proctors at a time. The system will allow Super Proctors to select Proctors till the maximum possible candidates for the selection is <= 200. E.g. if Proctor-Candidate allocation ratio is 1:50, then a Super Proctor can select only 4 Proctors at a time.

Candidates allocated to the selected proctors (except disconnected candidates) are loaded in the Super Proctor’s classroom view.  The classroom view behaves exactly as it does today for a Proctor in “My Candidate” view.

View Group wise Summary:

Using the feature, the Super Proctor can check out the number of candidates who are currently connected with the System in various Quizzes/Assessments.
