ProctorU Record+ is a student authentication service that verifies student identity and also provides exam recordings and machine-based (AI) proctoring reports that faculty can review. ProctorU Record+ requires students to take photos of their face and ID, answer challenge questions, and enter a biometric keystroke signature to verify their identity prior to taking any exam. ProctorU Record+ is encouraged and ideal for lower-stakes assessments.
Note: This service is not compatible with the Canvas "New Quizzes" feature.
