Proctorio is an online proctoring tool designed to help ensure academic integrity. It’s integrated into Canvas and available at no charge to students to use. Please be strategic when you choose the quiz you want to use Proctorio on as we have a limited number of licenses to cover all of UW Oshkosh.

Am I required to use online proctoring?

No. The use of Proctorio is optional. If you decide to use it you can determine the extent of proctoring you want to do. If you didn’t want to record the video of your students taking the test you could turn that feature off.

Installing Proctorio on your computer

Both students and faculty must use the Google Chrome web browser and install the Proctorio Chrome plugin. If students do not use the Google Chrome browser with the plugin they will not be able to take the test.

How do I set it up?

You need to activate it in your Canvas course by choosing;
- “Settings > Navigation (tab)”
- Selecting the three dots next to the button “Secure Exam Proctor”
- Choose “Enable”
- Save
