Introduction

Talview's proctoring solutions for Moodle LMS include two essential plugins: the Quiz Access Proctor plugin and the Local Proview plugin. These plugins work together to enhance the security and integrity of online quizzes by integrating advanced proctoring features directly into Moodle's quiz module.

The Quiz Access Proctor plugin allows educators to apply specific proctoring settings to their quizzes, ensuring a controlled testing environment. With this plugin, different types of proctoring can be configured, and Talview's Secure Browser can be utilized to prevent unauthorized access and maintain exam integrity. Install the “quiz access proctor” plugin first

Complementing this, the Local Proview plugin injects the necessary Proview JavaScript into Moodle quizzes. It ensures that the proctoring session is initiated correctly when a quiz starts and manages integration aspects such as fetching session playback URLs for post-exam review. This comprehensive approach allows for seamless monitoring and reviewing of proctored sessions, enhancing the overall assessment process. Install the “local proview” plugin second

<aside> 💡 These plugins are free to download, but a subscription is needed to fully use it. For any query on the subscription, please contact Talview Sales Team or technical support, you can reach out to Talview Tech Support.
