Proctoring

Proctortrack is an automatic remote proctoring solution for monitoring online exams. ProctorTrack is licensed for use in courses offered through Westminster Online only.

You must set up an Onboarding Quiz before students can take a proctored quiz. Follow the instructions to Set Up an Onboarding Quiz prior to completing the steps below.

Configure your Canvas Quiz

Before connecting your Canvas quiz to ProctorTrack, be sure you have configured the following settings in your quiz:

1. Go to Edit mode of your quiz.
   
2. Confirm that you are looking at the Details tab of the quiz.
   
3. Scroll to the Options section of the page, and click the checkbox to enable Time Limit. Enter the time limit in minutes in the Minutes field. For example, a 1.5-hour quiz would be entered as 90 Minutes.
   
4. Scroll to the Quiz Restrictions section on the page, and click the checkbox to enable the option to Require an access code.
   
5. Enter a passcode in the field.
6. Scroll to the Assign section of the page.
7. Enter the Due date in the field. If you want the due date to be the end of the day, set the time to 11:59 pm. Do not use midnight (12:00) because Canvas considers that to be the beginning of the day.

   NOTE Setting the Due date does not auto-submit the quiz for the student when the time is reached. It only flags the submission as late.

8. The Available From and Until fields control when the quiz link is displayed to students in Canvas. For online courses, instructors are encouraged to leave the Available from field blank so that students have the option to work ahead when they have a schedule conflict.
   
9. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save & Publish button. If your quiz is already published, click the Save button.

Enable ProctorTrack in your Canvas site

A ProctorTrack button must appear in your Canvas course navigation menu. If you do not have a ProctorTrack button, follow the steps below. Otherwise, skip to Connect your Quiz to ProctorTrack.

To add the ProctorTrack button to your course navigation menu:

1. Start from your Canvas site, and click the Settings button in your navigation menu.
2. Click the Navigation tab.

4. Click and drag the ProctorTrack button to the top list and release it where you want the button to appear in the menu.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save button.
6. Click the Home button on your course navigation menu.

Configure the Settings for your Proctored Quiz

1. Continuing from step 5 above, click the More icon (three vertical dots) and select Go to Configuration from the dropdown menu.

   Feature	Setting
   Onboarding Approval Required	Required
   Require Face Scan	Required
   Require Photo ID Scan	Recommended

   * use this option when you have one or more students who wear a head covering such as a hijab, niqab, dastar, or veil for religious purposes

3. Click the Test Settings tab.
4. Toggle on the setting you want to allow for your students while they complete the quiz.

   IMPORTANT Be sure to toggle ON the HIDE ACCESS CODE/PASSWORD option. Otherwise, students will be able to share the passcode and take the quiz without a proctor.
