This guide covers how to enable proctoring on your quizzes and review proctored submissions.

​
Prerequisites

  • You must have the Course Creator or Moderator role
  • A System Manager must have configured storage in Proctor Settings
  • Proctoring must be globally enabled in Proctor Settings

​
Enabling Proctoring on a Quiz

  1. Navigate to your course and open the quiz you want to proctor
  2. Click Edit Quiz to enter the quiz editor
  3. Scroll down to the Proctoring section
  4. Configure the proctoring options:
  1. Save the quiz
Start with a 30-second snapshot interval. Lower intervals increase storage usage but provide more detailed monitoring.

​
What Happens During a Proctored Quiz

When a student starts a proctored quiz:
  1. Permission Request: The student sees a dialog requesting camera and screen sharing permissions
  2. Environment Check: The system checks for multiple monitors and developer tools
  3. Fullscreen Mode: If enabled, the student must enter fullscreen
  4. Capture Begins: Screenshots start capturing at the configured interval
  5. Anomaly Detection: Suspicious behaviors are flagged and recorded

​
Reviewing Proctored Submissions

​
Accessing Submissions

  1. Navigate to your quiz
  2. Click View Submissions or access the submissions list
  3. Proctored submissions show a proctoring icon indicator

​
Viewing Captures

For each submission, you can review:
  • Snapshots: Individual screenshots captured during the quiz
  • Video Recording: Full session recording (if enabled)
  • Anomaly Summary: List of detected anomalies with timestamps

​
Understanding Anomaly Reports

Each anomaly includes:

​
Anomaly Types

​
Anomaly Scores

LMS Proctor calculates an anomaly score for each submission based on:
  • Number of anomalies
  • Severity of each anomaly
  • Duration of violations
Higher scores indicate more suspicious activity. Use this to quickly identify submissions that need closer review.

​
Best Practices

Let students know the quiz is proctored before they begin. Explain what permissions they need to grant and what behaviors are monitored.
Take a proctored quiz yourself before deploying to students. Verify that captures are working and storage is configured correctly.
30-second intervals work well for most quizzes. Use shorter intervals (15 seconds) for high-stakes exams.
Not all anomalies indicate cheating. A brief window blur might be an accidental click. Look at the full pattern of behavior.
For high-stakes exams, consider requiring Safe Exam Browser to prevent most browser-based cheating attempts.

​
Managing Proctored Quiz Settings

​
Bulk Configuration

To apply the same proctoring settings to multiple quizzes, use the default settings in Proctor Settings. New quizzes will inherit these defaults.

​
Disabling Proctoring

To disable proctoring on a quiz:
  1. Edit the quiz
  2. Uncheck Enable Proctoring
  3. Save
Existing captures and recordings are preserved even when proctoring is disabled.

​
Storage Considerations

Proctoring generates storage usage: Plan your storage capacity based on the number of students and quiz duration.
