Verity ensures the integrity of assessments taken from remote locations through the use of advanced proctor settings instructors or assessment administrators can enable. The table below lists all proctor settings available for use.
Proctor Settings
Some proctor settings, if enabled, contain Strict Mode, which will prevent students from continuing their assessment or allow you to add exceptions to the setting. Additionally, some settings are only available if instructors or assessment administrators require the assessment to be taken inside the Lockdown App.
Setting | Description |
Record Video | Record the students' remote environment through their webcam. If Strict Mode is enabled, students will be unable to continue their assessment if their webcam disconnects during the session. |
Record Audio | Record the student's audio through their connected microphone, and any loud audio disturbances, such as speaking, will be flagged. If Strict Mode is enabled, students will be unable to continue their assessment if their recording device disconnects during the session. |
ID Verification | Students will be required to take a photo of their ID and face for AI facial verification. |
