1. How to use TEGRITY to record a test session Originally created by Gillian Walker August 2014 Revised by Timothy Foxsmith August 2015

2. What is Tegrity? Tegrity is a feature within Connect that allows students to record both their computer screen and themselves via a webcam.

3. What do I need to use Tegrity? You will need a webcam, microphone, and your student ID when taking a test. The minimum computer requirements can be found here: https://help.tegrity.com/what-are- the-requirements-for-a-viewing-a-tegrity- recording.htmlhttps://help.tegrity.com/what-are- the-requirements-for-a-viewing-a-tegrity- recording.html To make sure that all necessary programs are up to date, you should run this diagnostic: http://apollo.tegrityonline.com/tegrityutils/Diag nostic.aspx http://apollo.tegrityonline.com/tegrityutils/Diag nostic.aspx

4. Will I have an opportunity to practice Tegrity? In order to practice using Tegrity, you will use the program when you complete the Syllabus Quiz in the first week of class. Instructions for that are included in this file.

5. Accessing Tegrity Open COURSE MATERIALS in Blackboard.* Click on the Tegrity link called “McGraw-Hill Connect Lectures.” * Some instructors may also have a TEGRITY icon in each content/chapter folder on COURSE MATERIALS.

6. This will take you to the LIBRARY in your course on Connect. Click on LECTURES. You can also reach this point directly from Connect by clicking on the LIBRARY tab on your course homepage.

7. Using Tegrity to record a test session: After opening Tegrity, click on the blue button "Start a Test." This button will create a recording that only your instructor can view. **Note: Do NOT click on “Start a Recording” if it is available. This creates a recording the whole class can view.

8. The testing policies will pop up. Read them and click ACCEPT.

9. The first time that you open Tegrity, or if Tegrity needs to be updated, the program will prompt you to download a file called Tegrunner. When the box Tegrunner.exe pops up, choose to save the file and then install it.

10. After installing Tegrunner, the program should automatically open. If it does not, you may need to refresh your browser or go back to the Tegrity webpage and select “Start a Test” again.

11. Once the program has opened, click on the down arrows to select your webcam and microphone, if needed, then click Next.

12. Hold your student ID up close to your face and click Take photo. Make sure your face and ID photo with your name are easy to see. If necessary, click Retake. Then, click Next.

13. Click “Start” to begin the recording. Note that once begun, the recording cannot be paused and restarted. Do not stop the recording until you have completed your test and submitted it.

14. Now that your recording has begun, rotate the webcam around to show that no one else is in the room. Then go to Course Materials in Blackboard and click on the test/exam you wish to access. For your 1 st practice recording in Tegrity, go to the Required Preliminary Assignments folder.

15. Next, click on the Syllabus Quiz. This will take you to the actual Syllabus Quiz in Connect where you can begin working. Follow the same procedure later when you take a chapter test or exam.

16. Finishing a recording When you have finished a test/exam and submitted it, click the black square on the Tegrity toolbar to stop the recording. For PCs, it should be at the bottom of the screen in the tray. For Macs, it will be visible on the screen as a window. If you do not see it, you can click on the Tegrity icon in the tray at the bottom of your screen.

17. The program will automatically begin uploading the recording. To watch the progress of the upload: –PCs: Click on the blue Tegrity icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. –Macs: Click on the blue Tegrity icon in the tray. If it is not visible, open the Apps folder and click on it to open it again. Once you find the program, right click the icon and select Manage Upload Queue.

18. The upload queue works like a printer queue: When the progress column gets to 100%, your recording has been uploaded and it will disappear from view in the upload queue. How do I know when it has finished uploading?

19. Important Reminders Begin the Tegrity recording BEFORE opening your exam. Don’t forget to show your ID and pan the room with the webcam to show that you are alone in the location where you take your exam. This should be done when you start your recording, BEFORE opening the exam. Do not stop the recording until you have submitted your exam in Connect. No other websites may be opened while taking the exam. Books and notes may not be used. Place your computer on a table or desk while taking the exam so that the webcam will be able to record what is happening in your immediate area. You will only have 1 attempt at each exam, and you must complete each exam in 1 sitting. Do not leave the test location during the test.

20. A student will receive a zero on the exam if: He/she does not record his/her test session using Tegrity* He/she begins the test BEFORE starting the Tegrity recording. He/she does not pan the room BEFORE starting the test. He/she leaves the test location or other people are present in the location. There is evidence of academic dishonesty, including but not limited to: Opening other documents or accessing other websites during the testing session. Use of notes, textbooks, or other reference materials. Evidence that the student taking the exam is NOT the student enrolled in the course or whose photo does not correspond to the Student ID used in the Take photo in Tegrity.**

21. Notes on items marked with an asterisk on previous page: *If the student has technical difficulty using the Tegrity program, he/she may be allowed to take a paper exam on campus at the discretion of the instructor. To qualify, the student must have contacted Tech Support and obtained a case number which can be emailed to the instructor. **If there is a question about the identity of the student, he/she may be asked to meet with the instructor and show his/her student ID to the instructor in person.
