PROCTORIO

*Before your primary school closes for the summer, students using Chromebooks from their primary school should make sure that Proctorio is installed on their device. Please note that this can only be installed by your primary school.

Proctorio is an online automated proctoring service that monitors and records (audio and video) students as they write exams (recording the actions they take, including mouse clicks, keyboard strikes, internet activity, internet connection type and location). Proctorio alerts teachers to any suspicious student activity allowing them to view the video to ensure the integrity of the online exams and the honesty of students.

Proctorio is being used to assist Vista Virtual School in monitoring exams for the large number of students that we serve. If Proctorio does not work for a student there are alternate options for exam supervision.

WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO USE PROCTORIO?

    • A computer (laptop, desktop or Chromebook) with a web camera & microphone set up (a tablet will NOT work)
    • A Windows or Chrome system where screen sharing is enabled by default
    • A Mac system where you have manually enabled screen sharing
    • The Chrome web browser installed on your computer (Proctorio will not work with any other browser at this time)
    • The Proctorio extension installed in the Chrome browser
    • Photo ID to confirm your identity (an id card from your school will work if you don’t have a driver’s license or passport available to use)
    • To be in a quiet space with no interruptions
