Online Proctoring

Minot State University utilizes Verity Proctoring, a third party tool that integrates with Blackboard, our learning management system. This tool allows for the recording of a student's webcam, microphone and computer screen during an exam or quiz. This recording is sent directly to the course instructor for review of the assessment session to determine if any cheating activity is present.
