Online Proctoring at UCO
The Office of Information Technology and the Center for eLearning & Connected Environments have worked together to provide additional exam proctoring options to instructors for the academic year. OIT and CeCE are supporting two different exam proctoring tools with a variety of features to allow you, as instructors, the flexibility to select the solution that is most appropriate for your class, content, and teaching style.
Proctoring is the process of monitoring students during an exam to ensure that the student does not violate the terms of the exam. Instructors can choose between Respondus Monitor and several options through ProctorU. Below you will find a comparison chart for each option to assist you in making a selection.

| Overview |
Respondus Monitor provides automated Proctoring, building on the use of the LockDown Browser. |
Record+ is a fully automated identity verification and session recording solution for low-stakes assessments. With no live proctor to intervene during suspicious activity, review is essential. With Record+, professional proctors review every exam session for you, adding an additional layer of misconduct deterrence while saving you a lot of time. |
Review+ is a great solution for low- or mid-stakes quizzes and exams. This solution combines a live environment scan and launch process and professional review so fewer exams need instructor attention. Review+ ensures that suspicious behavior is investigated by a professional review team and reported to the instructor, once confirmed. All necessary evidence of an integrity breach is provided to the instructor. |
Live+ is an option for any online exam but essential for high-stakes programs looking to maintain integrity and credibility. With professionally trained live proctors monitoring every session and actively intervening when they witness cheating behaviors, the instructor can expect fewer necessary reviews. |
