Webex can be used to allow instructors to proctor exams themselves. A Webex exam session will be scheduled by the instructor and the exam in Canvas will be password protected. Students can connect to the Webex session with either their phone or computer. When the instructor is ready to start the exam they will provide the exam password in the meeting so all students can begin the quiz. The instructor will then watch students, via the web camera, as they take the exam. Students are expected to remain connected to the Webex session until their exam is submitted.
In order to use Webex for proctored exams, you will need the following:
High-speed internet connection
Webcam (internal or external) or smartphone with camera
Microphone or smartphone with camera
The process for connecting to Webex will be the same as when you connect for a class.
Tips for Ensuring a Smooth Experience while using Webex:
Connect to your Webex session before class starts.
Log into Canvas before connecting to Webex.
If you encounter technical difficulties with your exam, you should contact the IST Service Desk at 973-596-2900 or Media and Technology Support Services at 973-596-3005.
