What does the DigiExam Remote Proctoring service do?

It offers an automated proctoring tool integrated into the DigiExam client with behavioural trackers such as monitoring the webcam, audio and exam feed to ensure the exam integrity.

The exams can be proctored live and are also recorded with automated flags for certain behaviours. Together with additional tools for analysis, a detailed report is generated from the proctored exam session.

Before you begin your exam, DigiExam conducts a system check which tests your web camera, microphone and screen recording. Click on "Check System" in the Exam interface.

What do I do if I fail the Equipment check?

You need to allow DigiExam to access Webcam, Microphone and Screen recording on your device. If the Equipment check fails you need to grant access on your device.

Permissions are usually allowed in your Settings or System preferences under Security & Privacy

macOS - System preferences -> Security & Privacy

       

macOS -> Security & Privacy -> Allow DigiExam to use Camera, Microphone and Screen recording

 Windows -> System settings -> Privacy settings -> 

     

Windows -> Privacy settings -> Allow desktop apps to use Camera, Microphone and Screen recording

How do I know if my computer meets your technical requirements?

No additional system requirements in the DigiExam client besides the equipment check are needed. If you have the DigiExam client installed on your device and can take the Demo exam, you can take the proctored exam. 

Remote proctoring is supported on Windows, Mac and Chromebook.
