Jamf Assessment assists with the live-proctoring of web based exams for students anywhere. Assessment displays the front-facing camera view and web-based exam in a single app. Combine this with any videoconferencing platform that supports screen sharing to facilitate a proctored experience where both the student and screen are both visible. This app can be configured and deployed by a school’s IT Department. Leveraging the power of Managed AppConfig, the settings of the app (URL, screen ratio, branding and more) must be preconfigured for secure test administration. This allows a school to continue proctored testing, regardless of a student’s location.
