Enable Proctorio Exam Proctoring for Blackboard-Integrated WebAssign

If you use Blackboard®, you can prevent cheating by using Proctorio®. Create a Blackboard test that requires Proctorio and use it to link to WebAssign. Your students will continue to be monitored by Respondus® while they complete their exam in WebAssign.

Note While Cengage supports our learning platform integrations with several Learning Management Systems, proctoring solutions are third party services that we do not directly support. The LMS and proctoring solution versions we have tested might not be the same versions you use. For this reason, your process and results might vary and Cengage cannot guarantee support for any third party proctoring service.

This procedure is for Blackboard courses with the Original Course View.

Starting in spring 2021, many schools use a new method to integrate WebAssign with their LMS. These steps apply to all WebAssign courses regardless of when you integrated your course.

Proctorio is a browser extension and works only with Google® Chrome™.

Students should download the Proctorio extension ahead of time, or they will be prompted to do so when they open their assignment.

You must first create a password protected exam in WebAssign, and add a link to your exam in Blackboard.

  1. In your Blackboard course, click enter student view to enter student view.
  2. Locate your WebAssign link, right click, and copy the link address.

    This is the link you will add to your Blackboard test.

  3. Click Exit Preview.

    You might want to remove the exam link from your content area to avoid confusion.

  4. Navigate to a content area in your Blackboard course.
  5. Click Assessments > Test.
  6. Click Create.
  7. Enter the necessary information and click Submit.
  8. Click Create question > True/False.
  9. Enter a question title.
  10. Add your exam link to Question Text.
    1. Enter Exam link in the text box.
    2. Select the text and click insert/edit link.
    3. Paste your exam link in Link Path.
    4. Set Target to Open in New Window and click Insert.
  11. Click Submit > OK.
  12. Select your test and click Submit.
  13. On the Test Options page, scroll down to Proctorio Settings and select Remote Proctoring.
  14. Set your Proctorio settings.
  15. Click Submit.

Open your Blackboard test in student view to test the experience and make sure you can access your WebAssign exam.

Publish your Blackboard test to make it available to students.
