Integrity Audit Dashboard
The Integrity Audit Dashboard gives administrators visibility into potential exam integrity events.* The dashboard will display checks and various blocks for a specified time period, as well as a more detailed breakdown of each event such as student, exam, and device information. Data on these reports can be exported in CSV format.
In the coming weeks, the Integrity Audit Dashboard will appear in the Admin menu upon logging into the portal.
