What it is
ProctorFree provides on-demand online proctoring for higher education institutions, professional organizations, and other listed groups. Its services include fully automated proctoring, human-assisted proctoring, Secure Browser, and assessment delivery. Automated sessions record exams and process session data to identify suspicious behavior. Facial detection supports authentication, with continuous identity verification during exams. After an exam, administrators review a report highlighting anomalies and decide whether conduct violated exam rules. The service supports unscheduled exams and is described as available 24/7. Integrations include Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace by D2L, Moodle, Udutu, Digital Chalk, and Gauge by Test.com. Institutions can connect custom APIs to test delivery engines. ProctorFree says it is FERPA compliant, uses encryption and tokenized LTI access where possible, and limits retention to contractual requirements. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial.
