What is online proctoring?
Online proctoring means remote invigilation (surveillance) of an exam that you take in an online assessment platform. (…)
The UvA will make use of Proctorio (…) for online proctoring. Proctorio works via a plugin tool in Google Chrome. This plugin allows us to record you while you take the exam, and analyze the results. The results are analyzed automatically, and if any irregularity is detected a real person will assess the recorded material.(…)
Recording
● During the exam, your webcam, microphone, web traffic, screen, mouse- and keyboard activity are continuously monitored.
● Additionally, you might be asked to show your room, to check whether you have a clean desk and you are alone.
Browser lock-down
● The plugin can ask you to close all web browser windows before starting the exam and prevent you from opening new browser windows and tabs.
● The plugin will detect second screens and will prevent you from taking the exam in case you have a second screen attached.
● Additional lock-down options which might be turned on for your exam are, amongst others, disabling clipboard functionality, disabling right-mouse clicks and disabling printing functionality.
Verification
● The system will execute a check to make sure the webcam, microphone and screen recording are working as supposed.
● Also, you will be asked to scan your UvA student ID card at the beginning of the exam.
● The UvA understands that it might feel strange to be recorded during an exam. We understand that we are asking a lot when we ask you to show your room, and may see the files you have on your computer. We provide tips on how to minimize the intrusion into your private space elsewhere in this document.
● The most important reason to choose online proctoring as an alternative, is to minimize study delay for as many students as possible. The UvA has made sure that the footage of the exams can only be viewed by authorized employees. The only purpose to watch the recordings is to check for fraud. After the checks have been completed, all recordings will be deleted automatically after 30 days.
We understand online proctoring is an invasion of your privacy. We are mindful of this, but have decided to use online proctoring nonetheless. Our main reason is to make sure that exams for which it is hard or impossible to find an alternative form of examination (due to the number of students or the nature of the knowledge and/or skills to be examined) do not cause study delay for large groups of students.
The UvA has a Privacy Statement that describes which data are processed, recorded and stored by Proctorio. It describes how Proctorio handles the data, which rules and regulations apply. (…) Proctorio uses end-to-end zero knowledge encryption, which means they store that data in such a way that they cannot unencrypt and access it themselves, only authorized UvA staff can access the data. (…)
How am I monitored by the proctoring system?
Proctorio records your screen, webcam, audio, keystrokes and some information about your computer system to determine whether
● you are looking away from the screen a lot,
● you leave the area visible via the webcam,
● unpermitted sound can be heard,
● you are using a phone,
● you are opening unpermitted browser tabs or programs,
● you are typing much more or less than fellow students, and
● other people appear on screen. (…)
