Real-Time Alerts

We have successfully pushed an update to all instances residing in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the European Union. This update includes a streamlined wizard to create proctored assessments, LMS hierarchy support, email confirmations for registered live assessments, custom suffix settings, guided steps for test-takers, video tutorials for adding applications to a blocked list, improved integration with Aleks, and a new add-on: Live Check-In.

1. Streamlined Wizard to Quickly Create Proctored Assessments
   We now provide a step-by-step walkthrough for setting up Verity when creating a proctored assessment on an LMS or with a third-party proctoring tool. Assessment creators will be guided through each step of the process, from platform and configuration selection to live session setup, ensuring assessments are ready for test-takers.
   
2. LMS Hierarchy Support for Sub-Accounts, Nodes, and Sub-Orgs: Enable Verity for Specific LMS Hierarchies or Courses

3. Email Confirmations for Registered Live Proctoring Session
   Test-takers who register for a live proctoring session will receive a confirmation email detailing their registration.
   
4. Customize the Suffix to Distinguish Proctored Assessments
   Verity has always provided a suffix at the end of a proctored assessment name to distinguish it from other assessments. Administrators can now customize or remove their suffixes to suit their institution’s preference.
   
5. Canvas Now Supports Auto-Detection and Student Walkthrough of Student Setup
   Test-takers attempting to access a proctored assessment without the Verity Browser Extension will automatically receive step-by-step guidance on how to download the extension and access their assessment. We expect to roll out this same capability for D2L and Moodle in the next release cycle. To enable this capability, please contact your Client Success Manager.
   
6. On-Demand Video Tutorials to Help Add Blocked Applications for Windows and Mac
   In an effort to provide on-demand support, we’ve included tutorial videos for both Windows and Mac devices on how to manually add programs to Verity’s blocked application list. This will ensure that test-takers cannot access specific programs during their proctored assessments.
   
7. Improved Third-Party Integration With Aleks
   When creating a third-party assessment with Aleks, Verity will now automatically enter the password for test-takers to access the assessment.
   

Verity Add-On: Live Check-In

1. New Proctoring Add-On: “Live Check-In” to Remotely Monitor Assessments Upon Misconduct
   Complementing our existing Live Proctoring options, Live Check-In (similar to Live Pop-In) leverages Verity’s live monitoring infrastructure to flag and, in real time, notify human proctors of potential misconduct. Proctors can then remotely enter a test-taker’s environment to address the issue. This new offering provides institutions with choices when selecting their preferred proctoring options, as we aim to act as a one-stop shop for all proctoring needs.

14. View the Total Number of Improved Documents Within Each Course
    Administrators can access the Course Analytics in their LMS Report to view the total number of documents improved in each course.
    
15. Option to Ignore SSO Role Mapping in Favor of LMS Mapping
