The following table describes the usual process of communication and coordination between CMS and a Student who is remotely proctored (Zoom/Crowdmark via CMS staff proctor).
Time flows downwards.
| Phase | CMS/Proctor does... | Student does... |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Sends invitation to student with instructions. | Reads information, decides to participate. |
| UNSUCCESSFULLY looks for a suitable teacher or school administrator willing to be the proctor. Emails CMS about this. | ||
| Considers and agrees to proctor remotely. Emails the student. | ||
| Registers using the Student Registration form. Indicates Remote Proctoring. | ||
| Adds student to participant list. | ||
| Sends student email regarding zoom connection, forthcoming Crowdmark invitations, "Practice and Enrollment Check" assessment and expectations. | ||
| Adds student to Crowdmark. Issues invitation to the Practice and Enrollment Check. | Reads instructions. Creates (if needed) new Crowdmark account and goes through the "Practice and Enrollment Check" exercise. | |
| Exam Day | Starts the zoom session for all remote students. | Connects to the zoom session with desk clear, just blank paper, pencil(s), and official ID. Camera and mic ON. |
| Check in each student, validate ID. | ||
| Provides oral instructions. Ensures technical problems are resolved. | ||
| Releases the Crowdmark competition assessment and tells students to begin. Timer starts. | Student accesses the competition via Crowdmark, sees the questions there, and solves the problems on blank pages in front of camera. | |
| Timer ends (or student indicated they finished early). Proctor gives permission for student(s) to start scanning/photographing their work. | Pencils down. Student begins scanning all pages of their work and uploading these into Crowdmark. | |
| Student reviews the submission and checks to make sure each scan/upload is in its correct problem. Submits work. | ||
| During March | Marks the exam for all participants. Determines results. | |
