Create a ProctorU Review+ Quiz

At this time, you should have your ProctorU account, browser, extension, and possibly a Canvas Quiz created.

You can create a new Canvas Quiz altogether or take the following steps to Edit an existing quiz to leverage ProctorU services.

To leverage ProctorU with a Canvas quiz, take the following steps:

• With your quiz created, navigate to the quiz and click on "Edit."
• You should see your normal Canvas Quiz edit screen, with the addition of the ProctorU Owl icon in the lower right corner of the screen.

• Click on the Owl Icon to get started.
• Click on Get Started.
• When prompted, (1) select the "Live+" option under Proctoring Service. Also, (2) please ensure that the Department is set to "Review+', and select the appropriate Exam Term. (3) Then click "Continue".

Then, please (1) enter the duration of the exam under the "Exam Window" section, (2) enter the availability dates of your exam under the "Create your "Exam Window" section, and then (3) click "Continue." (ProctorU will automatically calculate the last available appointment time that will be offered to students while taking into consideration the duration of the exam and 30 extra minutes for troubleshooting if necessary).

Setting up Test-taker resources

If you allow your students to use resources, this is the area you will communicate that to the proctors and your students.

In the additional exam notes option, you place any information necessary to proctor this exam successfully.

Keep in mind; that these notes will be visible to proctors only.

Next, click on the "Save & Continue" button.

Your Contact Information

The next step to creating your ProctorU quiz is to supply your contact information if there is an issue with the quiz.

You will need to provide your Name, Email address, and Telephone number.

If there are specific times you can be contacted, you may also wish to supply that information.

Test-taker start notifications

If you wish to be notified via email, text message, or a pop-up on your computer (while you have ProctorU Dashboard website active) when students start your exam, you can enable that here.

Select the option you wish to use, and provide the required information.

The last item we cover is the Incident report notifications. If you would like these quiz incident reports sent to all ProctorU Administrators, toggle the, "Send incident report notifications to specific contacts." On and the list will be auto-populated.

Click the "Continue" button.

Click the "Save & Return to LMS" button once you are done, and you should see a message across the top that Your ProctorU settings have been successfully saved.

You will also receive an email confirmation.
