Course Instructor as Proctor

SmarterProctoring allows course instructors to proctor exams. We display the course instructor option at the proctoring type selection screen. This makes it easier to find the course instructor.

Currently, instructors will need to use a separate account to access and update their proctoring schedules.

Requirements 

• Instructor Account
• Activated Proctor Account

Account Setup Steps

1. Sign into your activated proctor account.
2. Press the My Account button.
3. Copy the Search Id.
4. Sign into your instructor account.
5. Press the Profile button.
6. Enter your proctor account's Search Id.
7. Press the Save button.

Scheduling a Proctoring Event

The course instructor as a proctor feature only works on pre-scheduled times. By adding this restriction, we prevent learners from scheduling any time that they want.

When you create a proctoring schedule, you are are able to specify the location, dates and times that you are available to proctor an exam. SmarterProctoring uses these values as well as the exam information to insure there's sufficient time for students to take exams.

By creating a scheduled proctoring event, SmarterProctoring will automatically accept proctoring sessions for you. You are still able to cancel these sessions up until the scheduled time.

This is a very, very basic scheduling system. SmarterProctoring doesn't account for holidays, recurring schedules, etc.

1. Sign into your proctor account.
2. Press the My Schedule button.
3. Press the New Schedule button.
4. Complete the form:
   1. Select a Location:
   2. Select at least one date.
   3. Select a start time.
   4. Select an end time.
5. Press the Save button.

Learners Scheduling a Session

Learners will see the Course Instructor proctoring type listed on the proctoring type selection screen. This is where they typically choose between face to face and virtual solutions.

By listing the course instructor option here, you'll be easy to spot for students.

The session scheduling process is guided for the students. They can select the date they want to take the exam and only time blocks within your scheduled proctoring events will be displayed.

1. Sign into your learner account.
2. Press the Schedule Session button under a specific exam or Find Proctor button.
3. Press the Schedule Session button inside of the Course Instructor badge.
4. (As needed) Select the Exam from the select box. This only appears if you pressed the Find Proctor button on step 2.
5. Select the Date from the calendar that you want to take the exam. The available times to schedule the exam will be displayed.
6. Press the Schedule button next to an available time.
7. Continue to schedule your session as normal.
