How AI proctoring works
What is monitored, what counts as a violation and what happens when the limit is reached.
For: Instructor, Administrator Reviewed 15 October 2026
Security is chosen per test, in the first step of Advanced setup. It is visible to the candidate, and its evidence belongs to the attempt.
| Test category | What it gives you | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | A standard quiz with no proctoring (choice, fill-in-the-blank and true/false questions) | Practice tests, assignments, low-stakes evaluation |
| Advanced | Supports coding questions, with a self-view camera mirror; a browser lock prevents tab switching. No AI analysis runs | Timed tests where a lock is enough |
| AI Proctored | Real-time AI monitoring of face, gaze and audio | High-stakes exams |
| Signal | Examples |
|---|---|
| Camera and microphone | Periodic snapshots; audio incidents |
| Browser focus | Tab and window switches |
| Face analysis | Look-aways, head turns, multiple people |
| Objects | A phone in view |
- A violation limit automatically submits the attempt once reached.
- Each attempt carries a validity flag and reason that staff can review.
- The timer is kept on the server and a person can have one open attempt.
