Question #1: Getting Ready for a Proctorio Test
Before taking a Proctorio quiz, prepare by doing the tasks below. Do you understand these instructions?
Use a reliable computer with reliable Internet connection
Use the most up-to-date version of the Google Chrome web browser; the test will only work with the current version of the Chrome
If you are taking the quiz out-of-class, use a computer that has a working microphone and webcam
Have your TempleID close by; Proctorio may ask you to take a picture of it to verify your identity
Turn your cell phone and any other electronic communication devices, such as cell phones and tablets, off; using a phone or any other communication device during the test is strictly prohibited
Turn Messenger off to prevent text messages from popping up on your computer screen
Take test in a quiet environment; turn off any extraneous background noises, such as music or from the TV music
Answer Choices: Yes/No
Question #2: Opening a Proctorio Test
Use the instructions below to begin a Proctorio test. Do you understand these instructions?
Using Google Chrome, log into the Canvas course, and click on the quiz
If required, complete a series of initial checks, such as making sure your webcam and audio are working; the initial checks only take a few minutes
If you receive a screen asking for a password, it is most likely due to connectivity issues. If this occurs, contact Proctorio by clicking on the grey shield in the upper right toolbar; support is available 24/7
Answer Choices: Yes/No
Question #3: During a Proctorio Test
When taking a Proctorio quiz, follow the rules below. Do you understand these rules?
Minimize the video picture of yourself on the computer screen, if you prefer
Refrain from making noise whenever possible (self-talk, humming, singing, talking to a pet)
Refrain from moving your location whenever possible
Do not wear headphones or ear pods
Do not eat, drink, smoke, or engage in other activities
Do not click on the “stop sharing screen button” at the bottom of your screen (This will end your Proctorio quiz and require you to log back on to continue the test. When students stop sharing their screen, it raises a red flag (suspicious behavior), as students could be looking up answers and then logging back into the test. Consequently, your screen MUST be shared continuously throughout the entire test.)
Do not take pictures of the test (all electronic devices should be off anyhow)
If you get kicked-out of the test for any reason, simply log back into the test
*The instructions on EACH test will let you know if you are allowed to reference materials during the test or not.
Answer Choices: Yes/No
