Verity

Starting in Fall 2026, MATC is switching from SmarterProctoring to a new online exam proctoring tool called Verity. This change will allow us to offer more reliable and advanced online exam security while managing software costs. 

Understand the Change

The content of your Blackboard tests will not change, but there will be new test setting options to select. See the recorded Verity Demonstration from our 10/2/26 preview event. 

Whats Different

• Verity is incorporated directly into Blackboard test settings, streamlining navigation for instructor and student!

• Access codes are not needed. Remove them from your test.

• Additional security features to choose from if desired, such as requiring a second camera, blocking browser extensions, blocking navigation away from the test, monitoring web traffic, and requiring a submission of the student's scratch notes.

• AI summaries of student activity help you interpret the student's recorded webcam, microphole, and screen for integrity concerns.
