Proctorio: Secure Online Assessments

A powerful digital tool that supports academic integrity through secure online testing in Canvas.

🔒 What is Proctorio?

Proctorio is more than just a lockdown browser—it’s a comprehensive remote proctoring solution designed to protect academic integrity during online quizzes and exams. When enabled in Canvas Quizzes, Proctorio can:

Lock down a student's browser during the assessment
Monitor activity through webcam, screen, and audio recording (as configured)
Prevent copying, printing, and accessing other tabs or applications
Provide analytics and flags for suspicious behavior
Offer customizable security settings to meet different assessment needs

💻 Availability on Student Devices

The Proctorio extension for Chrome & Edge has been automatically installed on all district-managed student devices, except iPads. Students using personal devices will be prompted to install the extension before taking a Canvas quiz.

📱 Availability on Mobile Phones

Proctorio can be enabled for use on iPhones or Android devices. This option can be activated by the teacher in quiz settings.

📣 Important Note for iPad Classrooms

The Proctorio app for iPads is coming soon. If you are currently using iPads and wish to use Proctorio when it becomes available, please reach out for more information.
