This release includes comprehensive application monitoring and control capabilities for lockdown assessments, expanded third-party assessment integrations, automated identity verification flagging, a more streamlined setup process for managed Chromebooks, and more.
Comprehensive Application Monitoring and Control for Lockdown Assessments
YuJa Verity will now provide complete visibility and control over applications during lockdown assessments through a redesigned approach that offers flexible security options:
-
Default Application Blocking: All applications are blocked by default, eliminating the need for manual configuration
-
Detailed Activity Logging: View comprehensive logs of all applications opened, closed, or running during sessions
-
Specific Application Identification: See exact names of blocked programs instead of generic “blocked application” messages
-
Flexible Management Options: Choose between comprehensive blocking, selective allowlists, or detailed monitoring based on institutional needs
Expanded Third-Party Assessment Integration Support
YuJa Verity will significantly expand its third-party assessment capabilities, adding support for multiple new platforms to provide institutions with comprehensive proctoring options across diverse academic disciplines. All integrations support both Extension and Lockdown proctoring methods, maintaining consistent security protocols while streamlining the testing workflow for both instructors and test-takers:
- VHL: Language learning assessments
- ZyBooks: Programming and computer science coursework
- WWNorton: Educational content and assessments across multiple subject areas
- Labyrinth eLab: Specialized laboratory and technical training assessments
- Macmillan Achieve: Comprehensive academic content and testing solutions
- WeBWorK: Mathematics and STEM problem sets with automated grading
- Wiley: Textbook-integrated assessments and course materials
- MyOpenMath: Open-source mathematics assessment platform
- uCertify: Professional certification and skills-based testing
Automated Flagging for ID and Face Verification Mismatches
AI-powered identity verification will now automatically create flags when there’s a mismatch between a test-taker’s face and their submitted ID document. The system will handle different verification scenarios intelligently, creating flags when switching from AI to manual verification in bypass mode or when mismatches are detected during automated processing.
Website Access Controls Will Now Apply to Mobile Assessments
Website access restrictions will now function consistently across all YuJa Verity platforms, including the Mobile Lockdown App. Mobile test-takers will be automatically redirected when attempting to navigate to non-approved URLs, maintaining the same level of security whether they take assessments on desktop or mobile devices.
Proctor Group Options Now Reflect Institution-Level Availability
The Live Session Setup will now automatically disable the “Proctoring Group” option for institutions that don’t have access to YuJa proctors, and guide instructors toward available proctoring options to ensure they can only select services active for their institutional setup.
