eExams with online supervision

If you have been scheduled with an off-campus final assessment, your eExams may also have a live online supervisor, depending on the assessment objectives, and whether it’s necessary to ensure academic integrity.

Our eExams with supervision are conducted by Monash-trained staff through our online supervision platform – Monash eVigilation.

How it works

After you log into the eAssessment platform, you’ll need to complete an online check-in process before you can start your eExam. Once you start the check-in process, your desktop and webcam activity will be recorded.

To start, click the Check in for exam button. You’ll then be prompted on screen to:

  • review and acknowledge the exam terms and conditions
  • share your speakers, microphone, webcam and your entire screen
  • photograph and upload images of your exam space to ensure you’re working under exam conditions (this doesn't apply to everyone – you’ll be prompted on-screen if this is required).
  • verify your identity by using your webcam to take a picture of your photo ID and face.

During your eExam, your Monash supervisor will have their webcam and microphone switched off, so it’s possible you won’t see or hear them. The supervisor is authorised to interrupt you at any time to ask you to refresh your webcam and screenshare connection, or to provide instructions related to your exam or any suspected breach of the exam rules. You must wear headphones during your supervised eExam so you can hear the online supervisor if they need to communicate with you.

If you want to speak to your online supervisor, click the Raise hand button and they’ll attend to you as soon as they can. You won’t be aware of other students being supervised, and they won’t be aware of you.
