NOTICE: Use of Proctoring Tools in BOLT at Bloomsburg University

The IMDC provides several options to improve quiz security for online quizzing at Bloomsburg University. However, we have noticed an increase in the use of our ProctorU solution and want to make sure it is clear the purpose and use of the different tools.


ProctorU is intended ONLY for high stakes online exams which require test-taker identification for accreditative purposes.


ALL OTHER online quizzes and exams should use Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor.


ProctorU exams should be scheduled by students at least 72 hours prior to the time they want to take their exam.


The IMDC will be monitoring use of these services and will make inquiries if this is not observed.


If you have questions please contact us at the IMDC.

Survey available in BOLT

A survey on the use of the features of BOLT is available to faculty. You can find the survey at the upper right hand corner of the BOLT My Home page, or visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6FG2Y6F


This survey is for FACULTY ONLY.


We appreciate any time taken to respond. Thank you!
