TAO is integrated and can be configured for use with Proctorio, a remote proctoring solution that records and monitors test sessions to support secure online assessments.
Proctorio uses a test taker’s webcam, microphone, screen activity, and browser monitoring tools to help identify potential testing irregularities. After a session is completed, authorized users can review the recordings and flagged events for each test taker.
Important: Initial Proctorio enablement and configuration must be completed by OAT.
