ProctorU is a remote human proctoring service that allows candidates to take exams online while ensuring the integrity of the exam for the institution.
ProctorU has an integration with Cirrus which requires a separate agreement with ProctorU.
What is ProctorU?
Taking exams remotely is happening more and more these days. Especially after the COVID pandemic this has increased enormously.
ProctorU offers a service that ensures the integrity of high stakes remote exams. And because of their integration with Cirrus, this is also possible on your Cirrus platform.
ProctorU uses live human proctors who monitor exam takers in three ways. Their proctors:
- Authenticate the candidate’s identity to ensure that the person being monitored is the correct candidate.
- Observe the candidate via a webcam. The candidate is connected to a real person who guides him/her through the process.
- Watch the candidate's screen in real time and can see everything the candidate is doing both at the location and on screen.
