Key takeaways
- Connect Assignment Results reports show student scores, questions received, responses, and correct answers; the documented report does not list a universal tab or device history. [1]
- For proctored Connect assignments, McGraw Hill says Proctorio tracks certain events, including leaving the page and a camera disconnect, while the instructor makes final decisions. [2]
- The Connect + Proctorio guide ties screen sharing, webcam/video, ID, desk scan, and full-screen restrictions to the instructor’s selected requirements. [3]
- Mobile devices are not supported for the documented Proctorio-proctored Connect route; that is not evidence that a separate phone can be seen or identified. [2]
- Proctorio does not judge or grade; McGraw Hill says the instructor reviews details and makes final decisions. [2]
What first-party sources support
| Question | What first-party documentation supports | What it does not establish on its own |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Connect reporting | Assignment Results can show scores, questions, responses, correct answers, and student performance details. [1] | A published universal tab, screen, phone, second-monitor, or network log. |
| Leaving the page | For a Proctorio-proctored Connect assignment, McGraw Hill says certain events can be tracked, including leaving the page. [2] | A claim that every tab change in every Connect assignment is tracked or reported the same way. |
| Screen and webcam | The Connect + Proctorio guide describes screen sharing, webcam/video, and other checks when the instructor enables them. [3] | A claim that every Connect assignment automatically records screen or webcam activity. |
| Second monitors, phones, and networks | The reviewed sources state the proctored route’s supported device and connection requirements. | A documented universal detection rule for a second monitor, separate phone, IP history, or all devices sharing a network. |
What standard Connect reports show
McGraw Hill describes Assignment Results as an aggregate report of student scores. An instructor can view questions received, student responses, correct answers, and individual student performance details. [1] Assignment Statistics can include performance figures and access or submission counts. These documented academic records should not be converted into a claim that Connect keeps a full history of browser tabs or physical devices.
Attempts and access rules also depend on instructor policy. McGraw Hill documents one, multiple, or unlimited attempts and different handling for repeat attempts; the setting itself is not a browser or device telemetry record. [5]
When Proctorio changes the answer
McGraw Hill’s student guide says that for proctored Connect assignments, Proctorio tracks certain events, giving leaving the page and a camera disconnect as examples. It also says Proctorio does not judge or grade anything; the instructor reviews the details and makes final decisions. [2]
The Connect + Proctorio guide explains that requirements are shown before the assignment and are tied to the instructor’s selected settings. It describes optional screen sharing, webcam/video, ID capture, desk scan, and force-full-screen controls. Where record screen is selected, the guide says the student shares the desktop screen containing the assignment; where it is not required, that prompt does not appear. [3]
Tabs, screens, second monitors, phones, and other devices
A Proctorio-enabled Connect assignment can have different behavior from an ordinary Connect assignment. The first-party guide supports saying that certain events, including leaving the page, can be tracked in the proctored context. It does not support a universal statement that every Connect tab switch is always recorded, or that every Connect assignment records a screen.
The reviewed sources do not establish an all-purpose second-monitor detector, visibility into a separate phone, IP-address logging, or surveillance of every device on a Wi-Fi network. They also say that mobile devices are not supported for the documented proctored Connect route. Unsupported access is not the same as verified detection of a different device. [2]
How to read a Connect or Proctorio record fairly
Start by separating an ordinary Connect performance report from a Proctorio result and from the selected assignment requirements. The course instructions identify what was enabled, while an instructor reviews the details of a proctored event. A notification, warning, access interruption, or flag provides a defined record for review; it does not independently decide intent or misconduct.
Student checklist before a Connect assessment
- Read the course instructions and the pre-check list to see which requirements the instructor enabled.
- For a proctored assignment, confirm the supported browser, device, camera, microphone, and connection requirements before the deadline. [2]
- Check the actual screen-sharing and webcam prompts rather than assuming they apply to every Connect assessment.
- Use only permitted materials and devices, and follow the institutional support or accessibility process for a genuine issue.
Frequently asked questions
Does McGraw Hill Connect track tabs?
Ordinary Connect reports reviewed here document scores, responses, attempts, and access information. For a Proctorio-proctored Connect assignment, McGraw Hill says certain events such as leaving the page can be tracked. The sources do not establish one universal tab-switch rule for every Connect assessment. [2]
Does Connect record screens or webcams?
The Connect + Proctorio guide describes screen sharing and webcam/video only when the instructor enables those requirements for the assignment. It does not make them universal Connect features. [3]
Can Connect see a second monitor, phone, or every device on a network?
The first-party sources reviewed do not verify those blanket claims. They describe specific proctored-assignment requirements and supported devices, not a universal physical or network-device inventory.
Does a Connect or Proctorio event decide misconduct by itself?
No. McGraw Hill states that Proctorio does not judge or grade and that the instructor reviews details and makes final decisions. [2]
