Taking a YuJa Verity Protected Quiz
Prior to Quiz Day
- Install any available computer or browser updates ahead of time.
- Review instructions on Taking a Verity Proctored Assessment.
- Important! YuJa Verity is not compatible with mobile devices. A desktop or laptop computer is required. If one isn't available, contact the course professor to arrange alternative options.
- Ensure there is an appropriate space available for taking the quiz. OIT recommends finding an area that is well-lit, quiet, and free of potential distractions or interruptions.
- A stable Internet connection is also required for the quiz. To help avoid possible problems, try using a wired network connection if one is available.
- Depending on quiz settings, YuJa Verity may require a room scan. This means pointing the computer's camera around the entire room, so make sure to dress appropriately, move any nearby clutter away, and ask other people to leave the room.
- Take a practice quiz with YuJa Verity enabled if one is available in your Canvas course site. If a practice quiz hasn't been created, ask the course professor if they would be willing to create one.
On Quiz Day
- Start preparing early. If anything isn't working, it would be bad to spend valuable quiz time fixing it!
- Double-check the surrounding area to make sure it's quiet and free of distractions. Remember, a room scan might be required, so make sure to put away anything unnecessary for the quiz.
- Verify that there are no problems with the computer's network connection, camera, or microphone. Laptops should be plugged in and charging. If no power outlets are available, at least make sure that the battery is fully charged.
- If taking a YuJa Verity quiz on battery power, remember that YuJa Verity will be recording video, audio, and the screen, so the battery will drain much more quickly than normal.
- Once everything is ready, navigate to your Canvas course site and click the YuJa Verity link in the course navigation menu. From there, select the quiz you need to complete.
- Pay attention to which platform your instructor chose, browser extension or lockdown module.
- YuJa Verity will automatically start displaying instructions. Read everything carefully and follow the directions exactly. Note that the quiz timer does not start counting down until after the exam pre-checks have been completed.
