Supervisor SDK

The JavaScript library is a software client of the proctoring system. It can be used for integration with an e-learning system.

How to use

An example of using with JWT authorization:

<script src="https://your-proctoring-server/sdk/supervisor.js"></script>
<script>
  // create Supervisor instance
  var supervisor = new Supervisor({ url: 'https://your-proctoring-server' });
  // log in and initialize the session
  supervisor
    .init({
      // set your provider name
      provider: 'jwt',
      // get JWT string from your server
      token: fetch('/api/token').then(function(response) {
        if (response.ok) return response.text();
        else throw Error('Failed to get JWT');
      })
    })
    .then(function() {
      // start the session only after initialization
      return supervisor.start();
    })
    .then(function() {
      // start testing in the e-learning system here
    })
    .catch(function(err) {
      // show alert with an error
      alert(err.toString());
      // redirect to home page
      location.href = '/';
    });
  // stop the session after testing in the e-learning system is over,
  // the timeout function is used here as an example
  setTimeout(function() {
    // stop the session
    supervisor.stop()
      .then(function() {
        // log out the session
        return supervisor.logout();
      })
      .then(function() {
        // your action here after the successful completion of the session
      });
  }, 5 * 60 * 1000); // 5 minutes
</script>

Do not forget to change "your-proctoring-server" to your dedicated instance of the proctoring server.

Requirements and limitations

For correct operation of the system required to comply with the minimum system requirements listed below.

You should also consider the following limitations:

1. Your e-learning system must be hosted on a server with valid SSL certificate (via HTTPS protocol). Otherwise the video and audio capture will not work.

2. Your web page with SDK should not be fully reloaded while the library is running. For example, when switching between test questions. If the reload occurs in less than a minute, the proctoring results will not be saved.
