Introduction

Talview’s Proview proctoring solution for Moodle 4.5 LMS is delivered through a single plugin that integrates advanced proctoring features directly into Moodle’s quiz module. The plugin enables subject coordinators to configure proctoring settings for quizzes, enforce secure browser environments, and review session recordings — all from within Moodle.
Note: The plugin is free to download, but a subscription is required to fully use it. For subscription enquiries, contact the Talview Sales Team or reach out to Talview Tech Support.

Assumptions

Before proceeding with the installation of Talview’s proctoring plugins for Moodle LMS, we assume the following:
  1. Active Moodle Environment: You have access to your Moodle platform with administrator rights. Talview Plugin is currently supported only on Moodle versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.5
  2. Talview Subscription: You have a valid subscription to Talview Proview services. If needed, contact the Talview Sales Team or Talview Tech Support.
  3. Compatible Browser: Testers will use a compatible web browser for the proctored quizzes.
Ensure your server and Moodle environment meet the necessary technical requirements for the plugins. Talview utilizes recorded alerts and configured stake to compute the Proview index, based on the candidate’s behavior involving their browser, camera, and microphone. For comprehensive information on Talview’s Proview flags, please consult the Proctoring v7-Plus Events/Flags Details documentation.
