High Stakes Exams
In-Person Course Moving Online
Proctoring service is now available to all of campus through ProctorU’s auto-launch service. Our subscription covers high-stakes exams only (e.g., mid-terms and finals).
Please note that ProctorU auto-launch serves only in-person courses moving online.
Distance Courses
Distance courses should continue to use ProctorU’s live-launch service.
Low-Stakes Exams
Take advantage of technologies that use low-stakes assessments to enact instructional approaches based in the science of learning, for instance, by using open-book Canvas quizzes to promote spaced practice or alternative assessments (e.g., Canvas discussions, essays, or projects) to encourage elaboration and deeper conceptual understanding.
