Please note: Classroom invigilation services are offered at the London Campus of Fanshawe College for the following schools:
- School of Information Technology
- School of Building Technology
- School of Applied Science
Classroom Invigilation
Invigilation staff at Fanshawe are available case-by-case to support faculty in the classroom (IT, Building Technology, and Applied Science only) with proctoring. The faculty of record for the course must get their Associate Dean’s approval before requesting invigilation assistance. Once granted, the faculty member will fill out the Invigilator Request Form and await communication from the Test Centre.
Five business days are required to process requests during the academic term. Ten business days are required to process requests for final exams.
Typically, classroom invigilation is for sessions that involve many students writing the same exam and may include multiple room locations simultaneously.
Before the exam, faculty communicate with invigilators through the Test Centre about the exam(s) in advance about specifics, such as attendance recording, permitted materials, location details and incident reporting protocols.
Faculty should prepare and provide invigilation staff with exam booklets, instructions, formula sheets, and other test materials.
Online (Remote) Invigilation
Respondus Monitor is an automated proctoring service that can be used with Respondus LockDown Browser. Both are available to all faculty in FanshaweOnline (FOL). For help using Respodus Monitor, refer to the Help Guide within FOL or contact your educational support technologist at your school/faculty.
In some circumstances, remote live invigilation is also available for students at Fanshawe. The following options are currently available:
- SmarterProctoring online proctoring solution (only for exams worth at least 30 – 40 percent of a student’s final grade and only with the Associate Dean’s approval)
- One-on-one Zoom remote invigilation (under special circumstances through Counselling Services). Faculty should contact the Test Center to inquire about Zoom proctoring service availability.
Refer to the QRG: Online Testing and Virtual Proctoring section for additional help with online proctoring.
