Our “Test” app has been upgraded with more features to promote academic integrity and meaningful student engagement in assessment. These features grew out of my own and other teachers’ experiences teaching remotely, but they are extremely useful in-person as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure, Student-Specific Access<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our online testing platform ensures that each session is tied to a specific student account using secure cookie-based authentication. Teachers can limit access using single-use access keys, making it easy to prevent unauthorized retakes or sharing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time Limits with Built-In Safeguards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers may optionally enable time limits, and the system tracks how long students actually spend on each task and each question. When a student saves their work, a timestamp is logged, and if they refresh the page, the system preserves the time already used\u2014eliminating the common workaround of resetting time by reloading. This ensures that time-limited tests remain truly time-limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Engagement Monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During testing, our platform provides real-time insight into student behavior. Teachers can activate a live Monitor View<\/strong> to watch students progress through the test as it happens\u2014seeing their answers appear, tracking save actions, and viewing timestamps per question. In parallel, a proctoring log records key events like switching tabs, pasting text, refreshing the page, or periods of inactivity. This dual-layer system offers both high-level behavioral tracking and direct visibility into what students are doing during the assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-Powered Integrity Insights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the test, our AI-based analysis tool reviews the proctoring logs and flags any unusual patterns.<\/strong> Teachers receive a concise summary of potential integrity concerns and engagement issues\u2014making it fast and easy to identify sessions that may require follow-up. Combined with the live monitor, this provides comprehensive support for maintaining academic honesty, even in remote or hybrid environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Practical Approach to Proctoring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all these tools in place, teachers need only one responsible adult in the room to ensure no outside devices are being used. The system handles the rest\u2014recording, analyzing, and reporting on student behavior for a fair and secure testing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n
