Instructors choosing to require proctored exams are encouraged to review the KCTCS guidelines and procedures established for administering tests through a proctor. All testing information should be submitted to the KCTCS Distance Learning Proctor Resource Center, located on the Point. This site provides a secure and centralized database for faculty and proctors to identify the specific information (passwords, documents, special instructions, etc.) needed for an effective proctoring experience. The first step is to make sure you are added to the Proctor Resource Center site. To request access, please contact the Office of eLearning. Next, go to thePoint and login. This is a secure site that will require you to enter the same login credentials that you use to access Blackboard or Outlook email, with one exception, you must put KCTCSACC\ in front of your username.. IE is recommended since SharePoint is a Microsoft product. Add the Proctor Resource Center site to your “My Team Sites” area, similar to “favorites” or bookmarks” on a browser. For instructions on how to do this, please see the video tutorial. Now you are ready to access the Proctor Resource Center. Please review the information provided on this site, particularly the section “Instructor’s Resources”.
