Introducing Remote Proctoring with Proctor Now!

The Student Success Center and Educational Media Technologies are excited to announce that we will be providing students and faculty with an option for off-site, remote test proctoring!

Proctor Now ScreenshotAs last week’s snow storms so clearly demonstrated, getting where you want to go in Northern Michigan can sometimes be a challenge. Even students with the best of intentions find themselves unable to get to campus due to weather, childcare, work schedules, and transportation issues on occasion. Remote Proctor Now allows us to offer these students an option to complete moodle-based exams at home under proctored conditions. Remote Proctor Now uses software and the student’s webcam to monitor the student, their environment, and their computer screen while they complete the exam. Remote Proctor Now reviews the footage and alerts the instructor if there are any suspicious materials or activities. Exam footage is archived and available for instructors to review.

Making your moodle-based tests available for remote proctoring is easy–just write on your proctor sheet that you want remote proctoring and the Student Success Center will handle the rest.
