Integrity evidence review. Events and permitted snapshots are evidence for human review, not automatic proof of misconduct.

What this means in plain language

Integrity controls produce evidence such as activity events, timing, risk indicators, reviewer notes, or permitted snapshots. They help a trained reviewer ask questions; they do not independently prove misconduct.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the exam’s integrity view and confirm the correct student, attempt, exam, and time window.
  2. Review the event timeline before opening individual evidence items.
  3. Compare signals with exam policy, accommodations, device conditions, network interruptions, and staff notes.
  4. Record a neutral reviewer note describing the evidence and context—not an unsupported accusation.
  5. Apply the permitted review outcome or escalate through institutional policy.
  6. Restrict exported evidence bundles to authorized recipients and record the reason for access.

How to know it worked

Common mistakes

  • Treating a risk score as a final finding.
  • Reviewing evidence without checking accommodations or connection history.
  • Downloading or sharing an evidence bundle outside the approved process.

If something goes wrong

  • If a snapshot is missing, check whether capture was enabled and permitted for that attempt.
  • If timestamps appear unexpected, compare server time zone and the displayed local time.
  • If access is denied, request the narrow review permission rather than a broad administrator role.
Privacy and security: Integrity evidence can be highly sensitive. Define lawful basis, notice, access, retention, appeal, and deletion procedures before enabling collection.

What to do next

Proceed to objective and manual marking, moderation, approval, and publication.
