FAQs
Can Blackboard tests detect cheating? ›
Beyond SafeAssign, Blackboard also tracks student performance across a variety of metrics. Sudden changes in performance (be they for better or worse) can indicate cheating. Blackboard also monitors the frequency and timing of logins.
How to know if a blackboard exam is proctored? ›Students and instructors can see that it's a proctored assessment by the assessment title. If you're using a timed assessment, the timer doesn't start for the assessment until the settings for the proctored services have been confirmed.
What can teachers see on blackboard quizzes? ›As an instructor, you can see when your students opened, started, and submitted tests and assignments with the Student Activity report. In general, this feature looks and functions the same whether you're working in an Original or Ultra course.
Do Blackboard exams record your screen? ›At the time of the exam, the student will access the exam from the Blackboard course to connect to ProctorU. The student's audio/video and computer screen will be recorded throughout the duration of the exam. The session recording is then reviewed by a proctor from ProctorU.
Can Blackboard tell if you copy and paste? ›Can Blackboard Detect Copy and Paste? The answer is yes. Safeassign is the tool in the blackboard that checks your work to detect if it is similar to other people's work. If safeassign finds a match, it raises a flag for plagiarism, detects where you copied the work from, and highlights a particular original source.
