This lesson walks through the features available under the Live Proctoring Tools menu for online assessments.
Before You Begin
This lesson begins assuming an existing assessment is currently being administered, and the user has accessed Live Proctoring for that assessment. To learn more, visit Live Proctoring.
Where to Start

Access the Live Proctoring Tools menu by selecting the collapsed menu icon in the top right-hand corner of the Live Proctoring screen.
The Pacing Mode and Force Finish Assessment options only appear for the administration roster creator. If an administration roster was set up at the district level, for example, instructors cannot pace, pause, or force finish the assessment for the entire district.
Assessment Features
Pacing Mode allows administrators to lock students to a selected assessment question. Students will only see the selected pacing question on their screen, and cannot move forwards or backwards within the assessment. Administrators can then move through an assessment selecting the next pacing question to display for students. This feature aids in assessing when students are given a specific time limit for one or more questions, preventing students from rushing through assessments too quickly, ensuring students respond to every question, and/or when instructors wish to walk a class through a practice assessment together.
Pacing Mode is only available for Item Bank assessments, and only appears as an option for the administration roster creator.

- From the Live Proctoring Tools menu, select Pacing Mode.
- The menu option will turn green, indicating that Pacing Mode is active.

- Select the Questions tab.
- Select the 3-dot menu for the question to be set for pacing.
- Select Set for Pacing.

- A confirmation message will appear.
- The question set for pacing appears greyed out, with a padlock symbol.
- Select the 3-dot menu and Set for Pacing for another question to change the question currently set for pacing.
- Select Pacing Mode under the Live Proctoring Tools menu again to disable Pacing Mode.
Reveal Mode allows administrators to quickly toggle between hiding and displaying student responses on the Live Proctoring screen. When hidden, student response tiles only display as grey boxes. When revealed, student responses display as normal, or with only color coding if used in conjunction with Answer Hide Mode. This feature can be used for game quiz activities to reveal the correct answer to a class, or to allow administrators to access and interact with student assessment information, while being able to quickly hide sensitive information from student view when needed.

- From the Live Proctoring Tools menu, select Reveal Mode.
- The menu option will turn green, indicating that Reveal Mode is active.

- An eye icon appears next to the pause button when Reveal Mode has been activated.
- Activating Reveal Mode defaults to the hidden mode, displaying all student responses as plain grey boxes or tiles.

- Similar to the Live Dashboard view, the Questions tile view displays student responses as grey tiles when the hidden mode is activated.

- Select the eye icon to toggle between hidden and revealed student responses. In the example above, the eye icon appears with a slash through the icon, to indicate that selecting the icon will activate the hidden mode.
- When revealed, student responses appear as normal in both the Live Dashboard and Question tile views.
- If both Reveal Mode and Answer Hide Mode are activated, student responses will only reveal the correct/incorrect color coding, but not the student response details.
Answer Hide Mode allows administrators to continue to display student response color coding on the Live Proctoring page, indicating if a student answered correctly or incorrectly, while hiding the specific student response details, such as written text and Multiple Choice answer selections. Answer Hide Mode can be used in conjunction with the Reveal Mode feature to display only color coding when student responses are revealed. This feature can be used for game quiz activities and other situations when administrators want to share general student response information with the class, while hiding more sensitive student response details.

- From the Live Proctoring Tools menu, select Answer Hide Mode.
- The menu option will turn green, indicating that Answer Hide Mode is active.

- When Answer Hide Mode is not activated, student responses will display with correct/incorrect color coding, as well as student response details, in both the Live Dashboard and Questions tile views.
- When Answer Hide Mode is activated, student responses that would include further student response details will only display correct/incorrect color coding.
Help Mode allows students to request assistance on specific questions from administrators monitoring the Live Proctoring screen. Administrators are notified of student help requests, and can track which students have and have not been assisted through the Help Requests modal.

- From the Live Proctoring Tools menu, select Help Mode.
- The menu option will turn green, indicating that Help Mode is active.

- When Help Mode is active, the help request question mark icon will appear for students next to the Review/Finish Test button on their assessment screen.
- When students select the help request button, a confirmation window appears, stating the test administrator has been notified.

- When Help Mode is active, the Help Requests button appears in the top right-hand corner of the Live Proctoring screen for administrators. If students have requested help, the number of requests appear as an orange notification next to the Help Requests button. Select Help Requests to open the Student Help Requests modal.

- The Student Help Requests popup modal displays a list of the students that have requested help, with their student name and ID number, along with the question number the student is requesting help with.
- Administrators can select Acknowledge for a student request to indicate that the student has been helped, and to remove the student help request from the list.
- Select Acknowledge All to remove all student help requests from the list.
- Select Close to close the Student Help Requests modal and return to the Live Proctoring screen.
Assessment Actions
The Force Finish Assessment action allows administrators to force finish the assessment for the entire student roster at once. This feature is useful for assessments that are timed, ensuring that students are only given the allotted amount of testing time. It also provides a way for administrators to force finish student assessments after all administration has been completed, ensuring that any students that might have exited their assessment without formally submitting it have their responses saved and submitted for reporting.
The Force Finish Assessment option only appears for the administration roster creator.

- From the Live Proctoring Tools menu, select Force Finish Assessment to force finish the assessment for the entire administration roster.

- A confirmation message appears. Select Confirm to move forward with force finishing the assessment, or select Close to keep the assessment open.
The Switch Administration feature allows administrators to switch to a different online testing administration for the same assessment without leaving Live Proctoring.

- From the Live Proctoring Tools menu, select Switch Administration.

- The Select an Administration modal appears, with a list of the administrations for the same assessment that the administrator has permissions to access. Select an administration from the list to access the Live Proctoring screen for that administration.
- Select Close to remain within the same administration.
