Young Harris College has partnered with Proctorio to provide proctored exams in all YHC Online Courses.  Proctorio is a cloud based system that integrates with the Moodle LMS (Learning Management System) The Proctorio online proctoring system is very easy to use, and is accessible anytime and anywhere. 

 

Proctorio authenticates the identity of the test taker and captures the entire exam session which is later reviewed by the instructor.

 

Technical Requirements:  

Students will need a computer with a webcam and microphone (internal or USB), their student ID, the Google Chrome browser, the Proctorio extension, and a quiet private location with a reliable internet connection.
