Examity

If you’re rolling out remote exams next term, here’s how to run them end to end with Examity. Start by connecting your LMS or test platform, importing a roster, and mapping courses to exam windows. Set rules once—allowed resources, calculator use, IP or domain whitelists, breaks, accessibility settings—and reuse them across assessments. Pick a monitoring mode per test: real-time supervision for high-stakes events, post-exam review for scale, or automation when you need quick turnaround. Share student instructions and system-check links in your syllabus or email templates so no one scrambles on test day.

For instructors, building an assessment is a checklist, not a guessing game. Attach identity steps (photo ID, profile match), choose environment checks (room sweep, second camera if required), and turn on browser controls to block copy/paste or extra tabs. Enable question shuffling and time limits, and add accommodations by student, not by exam. During delivery, live staff intervene only when necessary; for recorded or automated sessions, flags are logged with timestamps. Afterward, open the dashboard to filter by course, section, or date, then jump straight to clips where behavior was flagged. Export summaries to your gradebook, download audit trails for appeals, and keep notes tied to a specific incident.

Candidates get a predictable flow. Before the window opens, they run a system test, confirm their webcam and mic, and review what’s allowed on the desk. At start time, they verify identity, scan the workspace, and acknowledge the rules. If there’s a tech issue, they can reconnect and continue within your policy limits; if there’s a rule question, support is one click away. When they finish, they receive confirmation, and instructors see completion status immediately. This setup works for essay finals, coding challenges, language placement, industry certifications, and compliance modules—anywhere you need confidence that results reflect a learner’s own work.

Program leads and compliance teams stay in control without extra overhead. Access is role-based, backed by single sign-on, and protected with encryption in transit and at rest. Privacy settings restrict who can view recordings, how long data is retained, and which artifacts are downloadable. Flexible search helps you locate a single incident across thousands of sessions using filters like user, course, date, or flag type. Reporting surfaces pass/fail rates, incident categories, proctor interventions, and trend lines by cohort. Use these insights to tune policies, schedule staffing for peak hours, and demonstrate due diligence during audits—while keeping the student experience predictable and fair.
