Student Orientation - McGraw Hill Connect® + Proctorio

[Music intro]

Welcome to Connect.

Today we're going to give you a quick tour
of a proctored assignment in Connect

powered by Proctorio.

Let's get started.

Your proctored assignments will be

listed with all other homework
and reading assignments for your course.

You can see which
assignments are proctored

by looking for the Proctoring Enabled
label in the assignment name

and a shield icon on the
right of the assignment listing.

When you're ready to start
working on a Proctored assignment,

click the blue arrow.

A proctored assignment can
only be taken using the latest version

of a Chrome browser on
a desktop, laptop, Mac,

Chromebook, or Microsoft Surface Tablet.

Mobile and tablet devices are currently
not supported for proctored assignments.

Proctored assignments also require

an extension to be
added to the Chrome browser.

To install the Proctorio extension
to your Chrome browser,

click on the Browser Extension link.

Depending on the settings your instructor
selected for your proctored assignment,

you may also need a form of payment

to pay a one-time
proctoring fee for your course.

A webcam and or a microphone.

Please allow yourself some extra time
to prepare, as proctored assignments

require you to perform a pre-check
before you can take the assignment.

However, if you're taking a timed
assignment, don't worry.

The clock doesn't start
until after the pre-check.

Click Continue to start
the pre-check steps.

If you did not add the
Proctorio extension

prior to starting the pre-check steps,
you'll be required to install the

Proctorio Chrome extension here.

Once you have installed the
Proctorio Chrome extension,

you won't have to do this again,
unless there is a new update.

The extension will only be active while
you're taking a proctored assignment.

Otherwise, it will be off.

The extension is displayed
in green when it is activated,

and gray when it is off.

Take a few minutes to review the
Before You Begin page.

This page provides you with details
on how the assignment is monitored.

You'll see what
activities will be restricted

and what information will be
collected during the assignment.

You may also see information about
your computer performance,

along with suggestions on
how to improve performance.

Click Start Exam Pre-Checks to
continue through the pre-checks steps.

Proctorio will perform a
system diagnostics test

to ensure you have good connectivity
before proceeding with the assignment.

Depending on the settings
selected for this assignment,

Proctorio may also ask
you to provide permission

to access your webcam or microphone.

It may check to ensure your
webcam and microphone are working.

Video recording requires a
reliable internet connection

and good bandwidth.

Proctorio recommends that
you have a bandwidth speed

of .092 to .244 megabits
per second for an optimal experience.

For more details regarding
Proctorio's system requirements,

please visit the Proctorio
System Requirements webpage.

If your instructor
selected Record Screen,

Proctorio will also
perform a desktop check,

asking you to share the screen where
you are taking your assignment.

To share your assignment screen,

click on the tile that
shows your assignment

and then click Share.

If your instructor does
not require Record Screen,

you will not see this screen.

Your instructor may require
an ID check for your assignment.

If an ID check is required,
you will need to have a photo ID ready.

Hold up your ID to your webcam, aligning
the ID against the green outlined box.

This will allow the system
to scan your ID for verification.

Depending on how your course is set up,

you may need to pay
a one-time proctoring fee.

Click on Pay Course Fee
to make a payment.

Visa, Mastercard, American Express,
JCB, Discover, and Diner's Club Card,

and even BitCoin are all
acceptable forms of payment.

Again, this is a one-time course fee.

Once you have paid,

you won't see this screen again
for the duration of the course.

The final pre-check step
is the exam agreement.

Take a few minutes
to review the agreement,

terms of service, and privacy policy.

Proctorio takes privacy very seriously.

Your information will only be accessible
to your instructor and school.

No one else.

Proctorio is FERPA, GDPR,
and iKeepSafe compliant.

When you're ready to
begin your assignment,

click on I accept, begin exam now.

You are now ready to
start your assignment.

A proctored assignment will
include a quiz tools window.

Depending on the settings
your instructor selected,

you may see your recording, or have
access to a calculator or whiteboard.

You can also collapse the
window by clicking on Collapse.

You can drag the quiz tools
window to any point on the screen.

If this is a timed assignment,
the timer will begin on this page.

Click Continue to start
working on your first question.

If your instructor selected Record Screen,
you will want to click on the Hide link

to hide the Proctorio is
sharing your screen message,

so you can see the Connect
question navigation bar.

Proceed with completing
your assignment as usual.

When you're ready to
submit your assignment,

click Submit.

Click View Results to see
your assignment results.

Your assignment feedback may
vary depending on what policies

your instructor has put in place.

Review your feedback as usual.

When you are done,
click Exit to end your assignment.

Exiting the assignment will
also end the proctoring session.

Thanks for taking time to learn
more about Proctoring in Connect.

We hope you have a great term.
