Review recordings in Proctorio Gradebook

After students complete the quiz, you can review the proctoring gradebook for flagged submissions, and review recordings to assess any flagged behavior. Proctorio flags to not confirm academic misconduct, but enable instructors to review and document student behavior recorded during the quiz.

Access the Proctorio Gradebook

1. Open your Canvas course in the Chrome browser.
2. Navigate to the quiz page.
3. In the right sidebar, in Related Items, click View Proctorio Gradebook.

Student quiz attempts are listed, sorted by suspicion level.

To review an individual student attempt, just click on the row to expand it.

You will see a thumbnail of the recorded video on the left, the screen capture of the student’s desktop on the right, a timeline of the quiz attempt below, and an incident log at the bottom of the page. Click on the timeline to jump to flagged behavior, or use the incident log to see an overview of flagged behavior in the quiz attempt.

Make accommodations for specific students

Instructors can disable Proctorio for specific students, using the Moderate This Quiz feature in Canvas. You can also moderate the quiz to add time or attempts for students who experienced technical difficulties during the remotely proctored exam.

When proctoring is disabled for a student, they will need to use an exam password to start the quiz. This password is for the quiz, and not specific to the student. Provide the password to the testing center or alternate proctor for the student. Do not provide the password directly to the student, in order to prevent sharing of the password and circumventing remote proctoring.

During COVID-19 restricted operations, it might not be possible to safely arrange an alternate proctor. If this is the case, try these alternatives:

• The instructor or TA could schedule a Zoom meeting with the student, take remote control of the student’s desktop in the Zoom meeting, and then enter the password for the student. Once the quiz is started, end the Zoom meeting, and allow the student to complete the quiz.
• Make a copy of the quiz that does not require Proctorio, and assign it just to the students requiring accommodation.

Note: To moderate a quiz in Canvas, it must first be published.

Follow these steps to disable Proctorio for specific students

1. In your Canvas course, navigate to the quiz you wish to moderate.
2. In the right sidebar, in the Related Items menu, click Moderate This Quiz. On the Moderate Quiz page, you should see the Proctorio icon in the header at the far right.
3. In the row for the student requiring accommodation, in the Proctorio column, clear the checkbox.
4. Click the Change Proctorio Access Settings button that appears. The settings will be saved, and the page will now display an exam password.
5. Provide the password to the alternate proctor.

Find Proctorio online help and support

When you are signed into Canvas, you can access Proctorio’s online help by clicking the Proctorio browser extension (shield icon)in the upper right corner of the browser.

Note: You will see this menu only when you are signed into Canvas. If you click the shield icon when outside of Canvas, you’ll see the standard Google extension menu.

Troubleshooting

If the Proctorio shield icon is red or yellow instead of gray

In the course navigation, click Secure Exam Proctor (Proctorio). If you see a message that says, “Secure Exam Proctor Plugin Successfully Installed! Please return to your course.” you are good to go.

If that doesn’t solve the problem, try logging out of Canvas and then signing in again.
