Tegrity Recording and Proctoring Introduction The Tegrity software can be used as classroom video/screen capture recordings to be uploaded to a secure cloud.

Automated Proctoring The automated proctoring, that is only visible by the instructor, captures both what is on the computer screen and the student s webcam.
