This lesson will guide you through the process of using DnA's proctoring tools for online assessments.
Monitor student progress, allow students to prompt you for help, and pause their assessment. It is helpful to open the proctor screen on a device you are using to monitor the administration.
Live Proctoring is designed for a single class size (approximately 30-40) of students. For best results, do not add multiple courses or entire grade levels of students to a single online testing roster.
Where to Start
- Click Assessments.
- Select View Assessments.
- Select the Actions tab for the desired assessment.
- Go to Administer.
- Select Live Proctoring.
This lesson begins assuming you have already created an online testing roster and students have started taking the assessment. To learn how to setup an online test roster, visit Online Testing Setup Using the Student Portal.
Dashboard or Overall View (Default)
The Dashboard view allows you to view all students in an online testing roster at once.
- Student Names (or your selected Sort Option) are listed on the left side of the screen. You can click on their name to see a pop up with all of the individual student's answers.
- Click the dots next to a student's name to Enable Text to Speech, Reset their Password or Re-Open the exam.
- Questions or Items are listed along the top with the correct answer in green. You can click on the question number (Q#) to view the Question.
- If the student answered the question correctly, the corresponding box turns green. If they answered incorrectly, the box turns red with their incorrect answer choice in it.
- View By allows you to sort the selected view by Last Name, First Name, Student ID, or Anonymous.
