The following steps will introduce and describe how to set up the Proctorio integration in the Aktiv Chemistry web app running on Google Chrome or another Chromium-based web browser.

We highly recommend creating a Demo Quiz for students to take before attempting a graded exam; this will allow you or your students to identify, isolate and solve any issues that arise.

Both instructors and students need to install the Proctorio browser extension before the service will function. If students do not install Proctorio, they will not be able to take a quiz or exam that requires it. In addition, if instructors do not install Proctorio, they may not be able to access the Help Center on Protorio’s support web page.

To install:

1. Download and install Google Chrome or a Chromium-based browser if necessary.

2. Click on this link to get to the Proctorio Set Up page.

3. Click on Get the Proctorio Extension and add it to your web browser.

4. Once the extension is installed in your web browser, Proctorio will be enabled when you are ready to take a proctored quiz or exam.

It should be noted that Proctorio only runs while taking a proctored quiz. You can tell if Proctorio is on when the Proctorio extension shield icon is green. Since Proctorio is a browser extension, it can be uninstalled or disabled immediately after a quiz has been submitted and reinstalled in time for the following quiz or exam.
