A university network may use Moodle, Canvas, custom portals and separate testing systems at the same time. Proctoring needs to support agreed examination rules while preserving the academic processes each institution relies on.
The TrustExam approach offers two routes to explore: integration with an LMS and assessment delivery on the TrustExam platform. The right choice depends on participants and the examination format.
Integration with an LMS
The exam remains in the learning system. During integration, agree how the participant, exam and attempt are linked, how monitoring starts and how staff access the resulting records.
Teachers continue working with academic results in their system. Reviewers use session evidence to assess compliance with exam rules. A knowledge score and an automated risk assessment serve different purposes and should not be combined into one unexplained result.
A separate assessment workflow
A separate platform may be useful for admissions, external participants without LMS accounts or a common exam across several departments. A pilot should test the complete participant journey and the tasks of the responsible staff.
Confirm required question types, scheduling, data exchange and export before choosing the deployment model.
Shared rules across different systems
Agree identity checks and exceptions, permitted materials and applications, technical interruption handling, review criteria, reviewer authority, appeals and recording access, retention and deletion.
A shared policy does not require the same restrictions for every assessment. A practice test, end-of-term exam and admission test can use different settings when the differences are justified and communicated to participants.
Operating during peak periods
At high volumes, automated signals help prioritise review. Staff need a clear report with linked recordings and events. Prepare common examples and a second-review process so decisions remain consistent.
Disagreement between reviewers should prompt clarification of criteria. It is not automatically a reason to increase restrictions for every student.
Roll out in stages
Start with one faculty, campus or examination format. Validate integration on representative devices, participant preparation, support and committee review. Use the findings to refine the workflow before extending it to other units.
Useful measures include successful launches, support requests, review time, decision agreement and appeal outcomes. Exam volume alone does not describe implementation quality.
The intended outcome
The goal is comparable examination conditions and review materials across different learning systems. Proctoring records session information; authorised university staff retain responsibility for results and any disciplinary consequences.
