For Students
Here's exactly what happens during your exam.
No surprises. No hidden monitoring. Just a clear explanation of what Nigel Integrity does and does not do.
What happens, step by step.
You open your exam in your LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or D2L) and click to begin.
A small Chrome extension activates. It can see your webcam and, if your exam uses it, a 360-degree camera on your desk.
You take your exam in your normal browser. You can use all your tabs, bookmarks, and tools. Nothing is locked down.
AI watches the room for things like unauthorized phones, extra people, or materials that aren't on your allowed list.
If something is flagged, a real person reviews it. No computer ever decides your grade.
When you finish, you submit normally. The exam is over.
What we capture.
This is the full list. There is nothing else.
Video from your webcam (and 360 camera if used)
Which tab is active during the exam
Timestamps of any flagged moments
What we never capture or analyze.
Not because it's turned off. Because it was never built.
Your keystrokes or typing patterns
Your facial expressions or emotions
Your eye movements or gaze direction
Your browser history or other tabs' content
Any audio for behavioral analysis
Anything from your computer outside the exam
Your rights.
If something is flagged, you can see what was flagged and why.
You can contest any flag through an appeals process.
Your institution controls how long exam data is kept, not us.
You can ask your institution about their data retention policy at any time.
Questions students actually ask.
Do I need to install anything?
A lightweight Chrome extension. No lockdown software.
Can it see my other tabs?
It knows which tab is active, but it cannot read the content of other tabs.
What if I have a disability accommodation?
Your instructor can configure allowed items and accommodations per exam.
What if I'm flagged for something I didn't do?
Every flag goes to a human reviewer, and you can appeal any decision.
Who sees my exam recording?
Only authorized reviewers at your institution.
System requirements.
Google Chrome (latest version)
Webcam
Stable internet connection
Optional: 360-degree camera (provided by your institution if required)
