Introduction

Installing SmarterProctoring into the Desire2Learn environment is a straightforward process that will take roughly 15-30 minutes to work through, depending on the speed at which you move. There are 3 total components to the install, setting up a trusted site so SmarterProctoring can communicate with the Desire2Learn API, registering the LTI tool within Desire2Learn, and then placing the external tool inks within a course.

Prior to starting the process, we suggest logging into the SmarterProctoring administrative area since it will be used to complete the process. Since you will be interacting with both the SmarterProctoring administrative area and your Desire2Learn instance, we suggest having 2 tabs or browser windows open, one for each system.

Login to SmarterProctoring Administrative Area

1. Navigate to your SmarterProctoring administrative area in your browser. Your SmarterProctoring administrator was provided a specific account special administrative area URL. If you do not have this information, please contact them.
