Live proctoring with Synoptic

Video Monitoring Candidates Live

When any of the video options are used (either Webcam, Screen or both) the option to live proctor candidates in real time will become available. Live proctoring allows you and your team to watch candidates in the exam, send warnings to candidates, leave notes and flags for the reset of your team reviewing the exam once it has finished.

From an exams proctoring page, where at least one video Monitoring level is enabled, the option to also enable Live proctoring will show, enable and save.

Viewing Live Proctoring

From the exam, go to Manage > Live proctoring. From here you'll see a list of all candidates currently in the exam. Use the view button to open the live proctoring page for that candidate.

From the live proctoring page, theres an event log detailing what the candidate is doing during the exam, any configured exam rule breaches will also show here. Live proctors can leave notes and send warnings to candidates as well as toggle different views between screen and webcam.

Interval checks are automated every few seconds and will show as the candidate navigates through the questions and submits.

Candidate Warnings

Warnings left by live proctors to candidates will show on the candidates exam screen, candidates have to click 'I understand' in order to close the message and resume with the exam. Timers will continue to tick down.

When a candidate submits or leaves their attempt, the live proctoring is no longer available. The attempt can still be reviewed in the post exam proctoring review, details below.
