Enable Proctorio Exam Proctoring for Canvas-Integrated Keyboarding in SAM

If you use Canvas™, you can prevent cheating by using Proctorio®. Create a Canvas quiz that requires Proctorio and use it to link to Keyboarding in SAM. Your students will continue to be monitored by Proctorio while they complete their exam in Keyboarding in SAM.

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.

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 Keyboarding in SAM, and add a link to your exam in Canvas. In order for students to access the exam through the proctoring service, both the link and the module you add it to must be published. However, students should not access the exam directly through this link. To avoid confusion, consider creating a new module titled "Do not access." Let your students know that you will be notified if they attempt to access the exam through the "Do not access" module.
