Monitor and Manage Students During Assessments

Use the Proctor tab when you need to actively proctor an assessment and respond quickly to student status changes.

From Proctor, teachers can:

  • View student assessment status in real time.

  • See when a student begins, pauses, or submits an assessment.

  • Allow a student to continue or retake an assessment.

  • Extend an individual student’s due date without changing assessment settings.

  • See why a LockDown Browser session was paused (if applicable).

To access Proctor from the Assignment Center or class Assignments tab, teachers select an assessment name, then Proctor.

Allow Retake, Allow Continue, and Extend Assessments

Use the context menu next to a student's name to allow them to retake, continue or to extend their assessment. Available options change based on the student’s status.

Note: If students can view correct answers upon submitting their assessment, they may have prior exposure to those answers when allowing them to continue or retake a submitted assessment.

If a student is resuming or retaking an assessment after the due date, first extend the assessment to a new due date before selecting Allow continue or Allow retake.
