USE OF PROCTORIO SYSTEM FOR ALL EXAMINATIONS

The American University of Health Sciences (AUHS) has chosen the use of Proctorio system for all course examination. This Spring quarter 2020 trialed the Proctorio system giving solution to sustaining academic integrity. Proctorio remote test monitoring system automatically links with AUHS’ Learning Management System. Proctorio offers three different proctoring methods: through ID verification, on-screen and environment monitoring using Google Chrome as Proctorio is a browser extension. The Proctorio has verification options that help to validate the identity of the exam participant. When the record video and/or record audio options are enabled, it is recommended to enable all three verification options. (1) Verify Audio. Verify audio confirms that the testing environment for the exam participant is quiet enough to capture ambient sound. (2) Verify Video. Verify video verifies that the exam participant’s webcam is operating correctly, that the exam environment is properly lit, and the image of the exam participant is frames appropriately. (3) Verify Identity. Verify identity prompts the exam participant to scan a government or school issued identification card. AUHS has defaulted Proctorio system locked down and security tools to prevent unauthorized web surfing, pop-up notifications, and any other activities that would compromise the integrity of the examination.

It is a MUST that faculty and/or adjunct needs to assign Proctorio in all quizzes and examinations. Please refer to remote Proctorio testing policy: Proctorio system integration in Canvas. The Proctorio settings need to be setup three weeks prior to the start of the quarter. Please find attachment II: Remote Proctorio Testing Policy: Proctorio System Integration in Canvas.
