What Is Remote Proctor Now (RPNow)
by PSI Software Secure?
Categories: Assessment Tools
Remote Proctor NOW is a cloud-based (SaaS) solution for secure online examination delivery. Using a standard computer webcam with a high speed internet connection, students have the ability to take online proctored exams. Remote Proctor Now authenticates the identity of the test taker and captures the entire exam session which is later reviewed by certified proctors. A report is later provided to the institution with links to the actual video of any suspicious behavior.
*Before downloading, review the helpful hints at the bottom of the download page and use the installation video guide (i.e. the "Play Video" button) as needed.*
