Advanced Security Proctorio Settings- Draft

As you may be aware, there are AI cheating applications that students may be using to get around browser-based proctoring tools. The current version of Proctorio at Temple uses the Google Chrome browser plug-in.

Proctorio has a new version that addresses these issues. It can be enabled on a course by course basis this summer. This updated tool runs as an application. This is designed to block any outside applications trying to allow students to cheat during the exam.

We just recently received access to this new version and are currently testing it.

Faculty now have the option to pilot the new version of the Proctorio tool

The current version, which is browser based and prone to AI cheating tools circumventing Proctorio in the browser plug-in version. If giving in-class exams, faculty are advised to walk around the room.
Use the newest version, which we are still testing, but by design is now run as an application, which blocks these AI and other tools from interfering with the Proctorio application. This version I am told was beta tested in the spring in a courseat Temple, outside of BCPH. Feedback was that it worked well.
