Since Populi cannot use phone numbers outside the USA/Canada, we would like a feature to send exam passwords to the proctor by email instead of phone, or create a feature to allow international mobile phone text messages.

Adam Sentz Official comment We added the ability to use email for proctoring instead of text messaging.
-
Andrew Sears I agree this is needed.
-
Clarissa Marin This is a major problem for our online community. We can't use this feature for our online program because international students can not receive text messages.
-
Vadim Chepurny Please allow email verification for internationals.
-
Matt McCaul Is there any update on this? Is it something that will happen? Or should I look for other options?
-
Adam Sentz Matt McCaul - We are working on integrating with a remote proctoring service. We added test passwords recently which you could just send to the proctor if you've already established their identity.

Vadim Chepurny What is a remote proctoring service?
-
Adam Sentz Vadim Chepurny - A remote proctoring service emulates the role of an on-site proctor, but over the internet.
-
Vadim Chepurny Adam Sentz Looking forward!

Evan Donovan Adam Sentz: Thanks for the update regarding a remote proctoring service. That's great news!
We will need to do our first proctored exams for this term next week, and some may need to be remote.
Do you have a timeline of when this integration would be live that you could share? -
Adam Sentz Evan Donovan - I'm pretty confident remote proctoring won't be available next week, but you could try using the existing built-in proctoring option.
-
Evan Donovan Thanks for the update. That's what we are using currently, but for our in-person proctoring, since the proctors in our current workflow meet up with the students in-person and get the code.

Evan Donovan Thanks so much for adding this! I was just looking at remote proctoring today.
-
Andrew Sears Thank you so much. This will be very helpful for international students.
