If you use Blackboard Ultra, you can prevent cheating by using
Proctorio®. Create a Blackboard Ultra test that requires
Proctorio and use it to link to MindTap. Your
students are monitored by Proctorio while they complete
their exam in MindTap.
Note While Cengage supports our learning platform
integrations with several Learning Management Systems, proctoring solutions are
third party services that we do not directly support. The LMS and proctoring
solution versions we have tested might not be the same versions you use. For this
reason, your process and results might vary and Cengage cannot
guarantee support for any third party proctoring service.
This procedure is for Blackboard® courses with the Ultra Course View.
Proctorio is a browser extension and works only
with Google® Chrome™.
Students should download the Proctorio extension ahead of time,
or they will be prompted to do so when they open their assignment.
You must first create a password protected exam in MindTap, and add a link to your exam in Blackboard.
-
In your Blackboard course, locate your MindTap exam link, right click, and copy the link address.
This is the link you will add to your Blackboard
test.
