As an instructor for BIO 181 each instructor has the OPTION to use Proctorio for ZERO to ALL of their quizzes.

For details on Proctorio you can view resources in the Canvas Course: Faculty 4-11 (created by the TLC at CCC).

Pros: Students are less likely to "cheat" by using the internet during closed-resource quizzes and exams, you can change restrictions from low to high (e.g. video, ID, room scans, computer web lockdown, suspicious behavior flags-- all can be varied in terms of sensitivity and/or requirement).

Cons: Technical difficulties will arise for some students, does not align with some instructors pedagogy.

If you choose to use Proctorio:

Have your students do a Practice test early in the semester (similar to the one provided in this module). Use the settings you plan to use for all your Proctored quizzes and ensure that the students don't have technological barriers.

Notes:

Proctorio ONLY works with "old quizzes" currently in Canvas (Aug. 11, 2020)- but this may have changed by the time you are reading this. You can migrate your "new quizzes" to "old quizzes" and then you can use Proctorio.
Sometimes a blue spinning beachball appears and you can't click the save button when using Proctorio- if you open a new window or login again almost always your work will be saved- the suggestion is to save often.
Students and instructors MUST load the chrome extension to access Proctorio.
