edx-proctoring-proctortrack-v2
Proctortrack proctoring backend for Open edX, built on
edx-proctoring.
This repository ships two packages:
| Package | Registry | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
edx-proctoring-proctortrack-v2 |
PyPI | Registers the proctortrack Django backend (openedx.proctoring entry point) |
edx-proctoring-proctortrack-v2 |
npm | Provides proctortrack_custom.js — the browser Web Worker used during exams |
Note: This is the v2 distribution of the original
edx-proctoring-proctortrackpackage. The Python import path (edx_proctoring_proctortrack) and Studio proctoring provider name (proctortrack) are unchanged.
Requirements
- Python 3.11+
- OpenEdX with
edx-proctoringinstalled - Node.js (for npm package / webpack worker bundling at image build time)
Install (packages only)
These packages are published to PyPI and npm. In a typical Open edX deployment, the Tutor plugin installs them for you at image build time — you do not need to run these commands manually.
PyPI
pip install edx-proctoring-proctortrack-v2==2.0.1
npm
npm install edx-proctoring-proctortrack-v2@2.0.1
Open edX integration
From Sumac onward, Proctortrack is not bundled in edx-platform. Integration
is done with a Tutor plugin (proctortrack_v2.py) that installs
edx-proctoring-proctortrack-v2 from PyPI/npm and applies the required Django
settings during tutor images build openedx. No edx-platform fork is required.
Contact Verificient to obtain the Tutor plugin and Proctortrack credentials for your environment.
What you need from the Open edX side
| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
| Tutor | v15+ (Olive) through current; tested on Sumac/Ulmo |
| Docker | Required for Tutor image builds |
| Learning MFE | Proctored exams are served via the Learning MFE |
| Studio course setup | Set Proctoring Provider to proctortrack and configure proctored subsections |
The plugin configures PROCTORING_BACKENDS, feature flags, CORS, and webpack
worker settings automatically.
