When enabled, ExamMonitor records video and audio during secure assessments for later review of potential academic integrity breaches. Listed LMS integrations include Blackboard 9.1 and above, Canvas, D2L, and Moodle 2.9 and above, with student and course data syncing to ExamSoft and grades to the LMS GradeBook. ExamSoft serves education programs and organizations administering certification and licensure exams. Pricing is on request.
