The online proctoring and LMS integration doesn’t sound very exciting, but it’s the difference between a quick and secure integration or one that can leave your data vulnerable and cause frustration for your instructors and students. Keep these benefits in mind as you compare online proctoring services.
Why the online proctoring and LMS integration is important
Exams are created and taken in the LMS
Your faculty and students are busy, and the last thing they need is to spend time learning new educational technologies. Using remote proctoring software that directly integrates with your learning management system keeps your faculty and students in a familiar environment for online testing.
This reduces any learning curve because:
- Instructors create the online exams in the LMS like they normally do
- Students log in and launch online proctored exams within the same LMS platform they’re already comfortable with
- After the student launches the exam, they just verify their ID and complete a room scan in about a minute before starting the proctored exam.
No extra passwords or logins
Many online proctoring services require faculty and students to create an extra account and password, which is an inefficient and frustrating process that wastes time and causes unnecessary stress for students.
A proctoring platform that integrates with the LMS removes the need for extra logins and passwords, which saves your faculty and students a lot of time and headaches.
Proctored exam reports are available in the LMS
A proctor platform with a plug-and-play LMS integration makes it easy to access exam reports. The platform should collect exam data and provide instructors with filterable, timestamped reports within the LMS.
Makes implementation quick and simple
Institutions want a quick and easy implementation that takes days, not weeks or months, and a big part of that depends on how fast the remote proctoring software integrates with the LMS. With direct integration, setup can take as little as an hour.
“The integration between Canvas and Honorlock was really seamless. Very easy to get it launched. It was great, we had no problems launching it and making it work.” – Peter Burrell, Associate Professor at University of Cincinnati and Business Attorney
Keeps your data secure
A direct integration means data is only exchanged between the proctoring software and your LMS. It’s important to carefully evaluate this aspect of any proctoring service providers because it limits exposure to third-party platforms and keeps your data safe and secure.
