Proctoring software allows for online exams to be supervised, most notably as a way to safeguard against academic dishonesty. It does so primarily through two distinct functions: lockdown and video monitoring. Lockdown restricts a student's available computer resources (such as access to Google or an online text). It may also record the student's screen and mouse movements while test-taking. Video monitoring records the student in their environment during testing. It may flag certain times within the recording if cheating is suspected (for example, a student looks down for a long period of time).
