What's new

Proctor SDK updates

Detection of screen sharing interruptions

If a user stops sharing their desktop while taking a test using the proctoring SDK, the system immediately detects this and hides the exam questions until the user resumes sharing their desktop.

Information about such incidents is also recorded to the archive.

Redirecting to custom address after proctoring

Upon completing a proctored test, learners can be automatically redirected to a specific web page specified by the sessionFinishUrl parameter in the API. This page can display the test results or any content chosen by the test organizers. If sessionFinishUrl is not specified, learners will remain on the current page after the proctoring session ends.

Microphone check on equipment check page

We’ve added the microphone check feature to the equipment check page in the SDK. It verifies whether the user has granted access to the microphone and ensures it's not blocked by the browser or system settings. If access is blocked, the system displays an error message with recommendations.

Additionally, the system checks if the microphone is muted or producing sound. If muted or too quiet, the system prompts the user to speak to verify the proper microphone operation.

New waiting page for live mode

In the live proctoring mode, learners are now directed to a designated waiting page after submitting their photo. This page informs learners of the ongoing process and instructs them to await the proctor's invitation before proceeding to the exam. The waiting page includes a chat for learners to communicate with the proctor if necessary.
