Examity Virtual Proctoring
Examity is the current virtual proctoring option for online courses through TN eCampus. This page will provide a tutorial for course developers and instructors to setup virtual proctoring for Mid-term and Final exams.
Single Sign-on
There is no need for students or instructors to log into a website to access this service. Examity proctoring uses the single sign on process, which means once a student or instructor logs into their course there is full access to the program. TN eCampus staff will insert the Examity SSO link within your course in the Getting Started module during the first two weeks of semester start.
You can click that link to access the Examity dashboard.
Virtual Proctoring Dashboard
The dashboard will open after the link is selected. It offers access to four key areas starting with courses assigned to the instructor.
Courses Details identifies key information including course status. The next tabs expose more information under the course group.
Test-taker presents details on all students enrolled in the exam. Notice the Profile completion, Status, and Accommodation columns.
Choose a student link to see the profile and exams or choose the Courses tab to see more.
Course Accommodations allow instructors to select specific students that need adjustments to the testing process including accommodation for persons with disabilities.
Exams Info provides access to edit exam items. Notice Test Window, Exam Duration, Exam Password, and more in this window. Live Premium is the only choice for Security Level for TN eCampus courses. Choosing exam information within the Courses tab will open the Exams tab to reveal the same information.
The rules tab presents the standard rules and provides an option to add Addition Rules.
Instructions can be imported from other courses or new instructions may be added. Notice instructions may be visible to the Proctor, Test-taker, or both.
Tracking Exam Status allows instructors to track exam progress and to view videos of completed exams. If there are noted incidents in the video, there will be time-stamped flags to reduce watch time to review the incident. Notice this exam has two flags that are pending an auditor check.
What do the flags mean?
- Blue alerts are reported when a technical issue arises.
- Green flags are raised for significant steps where there is no violation.
- Yellow flags are issued when a rule is broken but cheating does not necessarily take place.
- Red flags are given when the student exhibits clear cheating behavior.
Essentially they are listed in ascending order of concern.
The system reports provide summaries for information found throughout the system.
- Schedule Status: Identify test-takers scheduled or not scheduled
- Schedule Details: Review the detail of scheduled sessions
- Evaluations: Test-taker proctor survey results
- Exam Status: Past exam sessions
Help Communicating with Students

If you need to reach a student outside of D2L, contact the student liaison (new window) at your home campus.

How to Create an Exam
This video demonstrates how to create an exam from your dashboard when Examity is not integrated with your system.
Pearson MyLabs Courses
If your exams are located within Pearson MyLabs, you must set up your own proctored exam within the Examity dashboard. When you build your exam, you must use this URL for the exam link: https://mlm.pearson.com/northamerica/mymathlab/. This is the only link that does not redirect and throw the student out of the Examity window. You should also include an instruction to both proctors and students that reads “Students should login using their Pearson credentials.” (Students may already know this, but please still include it).
TN eCampus has a dedicated account manager who can answer any questions you have. Please contact Brian Bell bbell@examity.com (sends email) or (855) 392-6489 EXT 761 (Faculty ONLY)
