Who needs proctored Canvas tests — and when?

Canvas is a powerful learning management system — but secure, fair test delivery needs an extra layer. Here’s how OctoProctor helps you prevent cheating and build trust in remote assessments.

Academic institutions

Use cases: Midterms, finals, placement exams, admissions. Why it matters: Colleges and universities use Canvas to scale assessment delivery. But with hybrid and remote formats, academic integrity can be at risk. How OctoProctor helps: Seamlessly integrates with Canvas to enable secure, remote proctoring — including AI monitoring, live supervision, and exam flagging — without requiring students to install anything.

Corporate & industry

Use cases: Onboarding, upskilling, compliance certification. Why it matters: Enterprises use Canvas to power their L&D programs, but unproctored Canvas tests can’t guarantee that results reflect real knowledge or skill. How OctoProctor helps: Provides configurable proctoring modes for Canvas tests — from automated monitoring to live supervision — helping companies validate learning outcomes and meet compliance standards.

Nonprofits

Use cases: Job readiness programs, digital skills training, career certification. Why it matters: Nonprofits and training organizations use Canvas to deliver accessible education. For many learners, exam integrity is the key to employment or advancement. How OctoProctor helps: Seamlessly supports proctoring for Canvas exams at scale — even in low-bandwidth or mobile-first environments — ensuring fairness without technical hurdles.

  • Full session recordings and flag reports for review and audit
