# Guide for Instructors

> Learn how to enable proctoring on quizzes and review student submissions.

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:

| Option                | Description                           |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Enable Proctoring** | Turn proctoring on for this quiz      |
| **Capture Screen**    | Take screenshots during the quiz      |
| **Capture Webcam**    | Include webcam overlay on screenshots |
| **Snapshot Interval** | How often to capture (in seconds)     |

5. Save the quiz

<Tip>
  Start with a 30-second snapshot interval. Lower intervals increase storage usage but provide more detailed monitoring.
</Tip>

## 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:

| Field         | Description                                   |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Type**      | What was detected (e.g., Tab Change, No Face) |
| **Severity**  | Low, Medium, High, or Critical                |
| **Timestamp** | When the anomaly occurred                     |
| **Evidence**  | Screenshot captured at the moment             |
| **Context**   | Additional details about the event            |

### Anomaly Types

| Anomaly         | Description                   | Typical Severity |
| --------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Tab Change      | Student switched browser tabs | Medium           |
| Window Blur     | Browser lost focus            | Medium           |
| Copy            | Copy action detected          | High             |
| Paste           | Paste action detected         | High             |
| Right Click     | Context menu opened           | Low              |
| Fullscreen Exit | Left fullscreen mode          | High             |
| DevTools        | Developer tools opened        | Critical         |
| No Face         | No face visible in webcam     | Medium           |
| Multiple Faces  | More than one face detected   | High             |
| Quiz Terminated | Quiz was auto-terminated      | Critical         |

### 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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Communicate with students">
    Let students know the quiz is proctored before they begin. Explain what permissions they need to grant and what behaviors are monitored.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Test your setup">
    Take a proctored quiz yourself before deploying to students. Verify that captures are working and storage is configured correctly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Set appropriate intervals">
    30-second intervals work well for most quizzes. Use shorter intervals (15 seconds) for high-stakes exams.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Review anomalies in context">
    Not all anomalies indicate cheating. A brief window blur might be an accidental click. Look at the full pattern of behavior.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Consider Safe Exam Browser">
    For high-stakes exams, consider requiring Safe Exam Browser to prevent most browser-based cheating attempts.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## 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:

| Capture Type                     | Approximate Size |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Single snapshot                  | 50-200 KB        |
| 30-minute quiz (30s interval)    | 3-12 MB          |
| 30-minute video (medium quality) | 15-25 MB         |

Plan your storage capacity based on the number of students and quiz duration.
