USBE details remote proctoring features, limits and technical requirements for RISE
Summary
The training described remote proctoring tools built into the RISE administration interface, hardware requirements, proctoring limits (no more than 10 students per two proctors), and security expectations for remote sessions.
USBE staff demonstrated the RISE built‑in remote proctoring tools and outlined hardware, staffing and security requirements for administering summative assessments to students who receive full remote instruction.
Elise Fry explained that remote students use the secure browser and the same login flow as in-person students but are able to communicate with proctors by text and video inside the RISE test-administration interface. Teachers can broadcast messages to all students, receive individual chat messages, view low‑resolution video thumbnails for all students, and open high‑resolution video or a one‑on‑one video call with an individual student. A screen‑sharing option is available for students to grant teachers a view of the student's screen.
Fry said remote sessions should have no more than 10 students assigned to two proctors and that those two proctors must be physically co‑located in the same room during administration to facilitate troubleshooting. She added that the remote tools require functioning camera, microphone and speakers on student devices and that the secure browser must allow camera/microphone access during scheduled sessions.
The training reiterated security rules for remote testing: parents or siblings must not be present during the test, no music or background TV is allowed, printed materials and scratch paper must be securely stored and destroyed after sessions, and session IDs must be communicated securely (encrypted email or secure LMS). Fry also recommended performing a remote training test immediately before summative administration to verify audio/video and accommodations.
Fry noted some specific operational items: the remote session pop-up will request camera and microphone access, students cannot see or communicate with other students during remote proctoring, and teachers can initiate a 1‑on‑1 video conference if needed. The presentation included a remote proctoring checklist in the TAM and a link to a RISE diagnostic tool to check device compatibility.
