Now you might be thinking, This has got to be the last new release of the year. But you’d be dead wrong. Don’t you know us by now? We love to spoil you, come hell or the holidays. So between wrestling gifts away from other last-minute shoppers and watching holiday favorites with your dysfunctional family, why not sit back, relax, and let me tell you about some new features to help you, well, cope.
Improved the Live Proctoring Media Player UI With New Features
We’ve redesigned the live-proctoring UI to streamline your proctoring process by including the following:
- New Sidebar Layout to View Test-Takers: We’ve introduced a sidebar view that lets you focus on individual test-takers while keeping others visible in the sidebar. You can click the Next Test-Taker button to easily rotate between test-takers.
- One-Way Audio Bridge to Monitor Test-Takers: To help verify specific test violations, such as excessive noise in the environment, you can now set up a one-way audio connection with test-takers to listen to their surroundings.
- View Flagged Events in Real Time: Verity can flag issues and notify proctors in real time, such as when a test-taker turns off their camera, ensuring you can address potential misconduct immediately.
- Text Chat is Now Embedded in the Collapsible Side Panel: You can now view and respond to chats directly within the live-proctoring media player, replacing the previous pop-up window.
- Badge Notifications for Activities: Badge notifications will now display for chats, notes, and flagged events, allowing proctors to quickly view any unread activities.
And while that alone would be enough for its own release, we’re not done. The elves in YuJa’s workshop are working around the clock to ensure that you have the best holiday season ever. Don’t worry. They’re highly caffeinated.
All Proctored Assessments Consolidated Onto a Single Page
With the updated navigation menu, we’ve consolidated the proctoring tools into a single Proctored Assessment page. This lets you view all proctored assessments and their details in an organized table. You can filter assessments by type, the platform they were taken on, and the proctoring method.
Access Verity’s Proctoring Assessments from the More Tools Page
The new More Tools page offers a dedicated location for specialized proctor tools. You can access the options to create Practice Assessments, Third-Party Assessments, and Standalone Assessments when required.
Third-Party Assessment Tools Enabled or Disabled at the Institution Level
As an admin, you now have the option to disable your institution’s third-party integrations with Pearson, ALEKS, and McGraw Hill without having to remove them from Verity. If any integrations are needed in the future, you can quickly enable them again, allowing instructors to access the active integrations.
Fin. You may now carry on with your holiday plans. Until next time, I hope you enjoy using the YuJa Verity Test Proctoring Platform. For more exciting news and updates, subscribe to our newsletter, and stay tuned for more amazing new releases coming soon.
