Introduction

What is Janison Remote?

Janison Remote, powered by Proctortrack, is an online proctoring solution for institutions and students. It essentially acts as an online exam hall, allowing:

  • Remote test delivery
  • Monitoring of student conduct during tests

Tip

Proctoring is the supervision of people taking an exam or test to make sure they're behaving as they should and no cheating is taking place. A person who supervises an exam is called a proctor — you may have heard the similar term invigilator.

For institutions and organisations

Educational institutions and organisations use Janison Remote to:

  • Set up online tests, including:
    • Setting start and end times
    • Enrolling students
    • Publishing tests
  • Customise test conditions, restrictions, and allowances
  • Run tests remotely, with an option to use live proctoring
  • Ensure tests are completed without misconduct or cheating, using a combination of AI and human reviews

For students

Students use Janison Remote to:

  • Onboard ahead of time and be ready for the start of the test
  • Verify their identity before the test starts
  • Take tests remotely — from home, an office, or a library
  • Use their webcam to identify themselves and be monitored during the test
  • Have their computer screen monitored during tests

Other features

Janison Remote also offers:

  • Technical support during set-up of test events and while the test is in progress
  • Connectivity with the Janison Replay test delivery system to deliver test content

Onboarding

Onboarding refers to students using Janison Remote to sit an onboarding test. During this test, a baseline identity profile of the student is created using facial and ID card scans. This profile is used to verify the correct student is sitting main event tests, so onboarding must happen before a student sits a main event test.

Baseline identity profiles remain valid for 365 days — students won't need to complete onboarding again while their baseline profile remains valid.

Onboarding lets students prepare for the main event ahead of time, in a low-pressure situation. Students can use onboarding to:

  • Check their hardware setup will allow them to use Janison Remote
  • Become familiar with using Janison Remote — the onboarding test and main event tests work the same way
  • Change any system settings in preparation for the main event
  • Create a baseline identity profile using facial and ID scans
  • Sit a practice test (if included by the institution) to get used to using the Janison Replay test player

Tip

Onboarding should be completed well ahead of the start of a main event test. Full onboarding details for students are on the Prepare for test day page in the test-taker help site.

Main events

A main event is when an assessment test is run. Students need to prepare before a main event by onboarding.

At the start of a main event test, a student may need to complete:

  • Facial and ID scans — to verify their identity against the details provided during onboarding.
  • A room scan — providing a 360-degree view of the room they'll be in during the test and a clear capture of their desk area.
