Description
Proctorio is a browser extension that enables you to invigilate online tests. The extension ensures that an invigilator can log in and follow what the candidate is doing. A number of checks will be done before the candidate can start the exam. The exact procedure for this may differ per organization. Please contact the accompanying persons for information about this procedure.
A number of settings are available in Remindo that can be set per test moment. These are shown below.
Tip!
It is possible to use standard settings for Proctorio when scheduling tests. This way, every test moment does not have to be set manually.
