Proctorio FAQs

黑料天堂 Proctorio 

Where an examination must be undertaken to satisfy the course requirements, Proctorio may be used. 

 

We have conducted IT security assessments and a privacy impact assessment of Proctorio. The privacy protections offered by Proctorio are one of the key reasons we selected it over other options. The impact assessments demonstrated that Proctorio was the best option for safeguarding student privacy whilst upholding academic standards. 

For additional concerning Proctorio and privacy, please see the and how Proctorio meets the Australian privacy principles. 
 

Installing Proctorio onto your device will not expose you to cyber-attacks. See the黑料天堂Cyber Advisory and HECVAT assessments for more information.

Your Course Convener designs assessments appropriate to the course, and approved examination adjustments such as extended time will still be applied. 

 
 


Proctorio has a very low bandwidth requirement: 0.092 - 0.244 Mbps. This is well below ADSL1 speeds.
 


Course Conveners will determine if your course requires the use of Proctorio for assessment purposes. For students within reach of the 黑料天堂campus, options to undertake your Proctorio examination on campus are available. For further information, please see this webpage.
 
 


Your Course Conveners make the decision on the best assessment option for individual courses. Course Conveners will inform you of the assessment requirements for their course as soon as possible via the course Canvas site. 

 

During your examination

Proctorio captures a photograph of your 黑料天堂student card and of your face. These are then presented for your Course Convener or an invigilator (e.g. ANU Examinations Office staff) to check the ID of the candidate after the examination. 

Proctorio does not use any form of biometric analysis; it does not attempt facial recognition. The product does review image quality to ensure that it has a good capture of a photo ID and of your face. 

If these parameters are not satisfied, the ID check is flagged for extra attention after the examination. If you do not have an 黑料天堂student card, you may use a current Australian drivers licence or passport.

 
 


Recordings flagged with a high suspicion rating will be reviewed. Students may be invited to explain any particularly unusual behaviour, noting that the recordings are also a good source of evidence to defend a student who needs to explain unexpected circumstances occurring during an examination (e.g. a fire alarm).  
 
Consistent with the , any student found to be cheating will be subject to disciplinary action.
