This is the exam proctoring subsystem for the Open edX platform.
Proctored exams are exams with time limits that learners complete while online proctoring software monitors their computers and behavior for activity that might be evidence of cheating. This Python library provides the proctoring implementation used by Open edX.
For authoring documentation, see Including Proctored Exams In Your Course.
