Quest is developing a web-cam based proctoring overlay that shows students a live video feed of themselves, and takes frequent intermittent snapshots to be turned into a flipbook for instructor perusal. The following screen shots give the users a beginning scope of what to expect (and are also posted on the student facing page).
Right now webcam functionality must be turned on by the Quest team (but that is changing fall 2020)–please send a note to questhelp@austin.utexas.edu with the name and URL of the assignment you'd like to be monitored. We're working on making this functionality (as well as stringency, ie a soft webcam offer but no consequence if one doesn't have one, or locked down must use webcam or get locked out of the assignment) Instructor facing, but it might be a little while.
You will As the Instructor you have the option to prompt for webcam (in which case students can deny it and continue) or require webcam (in which case students must allow in order to get access to the test).
In order to preview how the proctoring service establish these settings, please hop over to where it lives:
https://lbtest.cns.utexas.edu/instructor
(this step will not be necessary by late January, 2021)
1) Open the assignment. You will be promoted to share your camera. (if you aren't please send a note to questhelp@austin.utexas.edu to turn on the webcam for given assignment)
...
4) If a student enters an answer but does not click 'submit answer' they will be told their response will not be saved.
5) Due to feedback, students now CAN change their test answers after their initial selection before their time or due date is up.
6) After the exam is over, the collected screenshots captured and be made available to instructors (upcoming but not ready yet: compiled into a flipbook). To access these gems, navigate to where these live on our back up server (replacing 'quest' in the URL with 'lbtest'), select answer key (on the left side bar) for the specific assignment, or submissions, drill down into an individual student, and select webcam.
