SmarterProctoring Go-Live
 
Important Update:  We are continuing to move forward with the planned launch of SmarterProctoring automated examination proctoring service. As soon as we set a tentative go-live date we will share that out via an Academic Operations update. In preparation for our go-live we want to share some additional faculty training materials:

We plan to share additional resources tomorrow.

Also, we have requested two FSCJ unique training sessions this week. The CEO will be on the WebEx for both calls to field more complex or nuanced questions. Each webinar is scheduled to last approximately 45 minutes, followed by a Q & A section at the end of the presentation. Below are the dates and times for the planned webinars.
