Added Security

Integrated Remote Proctoring

To ensure academic integrity during quizzes and exams, Aktiv Chemistry now offers optional integrated remote proctoring via Proctorio.

Prevent and Detect Cheating

When turned on, Proctorio locks down student browsers and utilizes a sophisticated artificial intelligence system to detect unwanted behavior via student webcams and microphones. After the assignment is submitted, instructors receive a detailed report that outlines any suspected cheating.
