Summary
Tegrity Remote proctor software is a free (with Northeastern’s Tegrity Licensed
software), easy to implement and easy to use asynchronous test proctoring service
allowing Northeastern University instructors to record their student’s desktop and
webcam video and audio while the student takes an online remote assessment.
It is recommended to tell your students to download and install the Tegrity recorder
software and review and accept the Northeastern 34 part ITS AUP with 2
appendices prior to the scheduled time for the online exam. This will reduce the
anxiety level when the student and their computer monitor are being recorded
during the actual test.
Best practice recommendation
A best practice is to give a sample test, such as a student survey, at the beginning of
the term and have the students use the Tegrity remote proctor tool, then remind the
students to always use the same computer when taking Tegrity remote proctored
tests in the future to avoid downloading the recorder again.
This will allow your students to become comfortable with their desktop being
recorded and themselves being recorded (both audio and video via their web cam)
while completing a Blackboard assessment while at the same time preparing their
computer to record their test taking activities.
Tegrity Course Setup

Review of the recordings
Once all of your students complete and submit their exam they will return to Tegrity
to press the controller stop button and upload the recording to your Blackboard
course.
You will now have a Tests tab at the top left as shown which will show all of the
student test recordings uploaded by the students to your course:
When you click the test tab all submitted student test recordings will be presented.
You will have the option to review both the student’s desktop and the student’s
webcam audio and video at 0.7 to 8x speed. You can review on both your desktop
and your mobile device and you can review as often as you like until you decide to
delete the recordings.
