How to run remote invigilated exams

How to run remote invigilated exams on OnlineTestPlus: identity, lockdown, and a named invigilator. Not a coaching drill.

Understanding how to run remote invigilated exams matters for universities, training providers, and awarding bodies moving sittings online. Remote invigilation (online proctoring) combines identity checks, candidate monitoring, and browser lockdown so integrity does not depend on a physical hall. A Voice AI Tutor on Amro Academy is rehearsal. Mixing those jobs is how a practice drill pretends to be a certificate.

Preparation is the bedrock. Publish hardware rules early: webcam, microphone, supported systems, and a realistic upload speed. A mandatory low-stakes practice sitting lets candidates complete identity checks and meet the runner before the live paper.

During the sitting, match supervision to stakes: live invigilators for small high-stakes cohorts, or record-and-review with a named reviewer. Secure browser controls should run at the same time. Have an incident path for genuine faults that does not become a bypass tutorial.

After the sitting, review flagged sessions with the integrity log and any video the organisation actually configured. Decide misconduct versus a technical glitch. Keep time-stamped records that match UK GDPR retention. We do not invent detection rates.

OnlineTestPlus combines exam creation with lockdown and optional partner or Live camera modes. Use AI proctoring for the integrity layer, then book a consultation for a first remote cohort rather than copying a classroom paper onto an open quiz.
