Proctor Open-Book Exams Inside Moodle
Open-book doesn't mean unmonitored: attach Neuroxa to your Moodle open-book quiz, verify identity at login, and flag only what's actually against the rules — outside help, not open notes.

FAQs
Q: What's even left to proctor if the book is open? Identity (is this really the enrolled student?) and collaboration (is help coming from a disallowed source?) — both still matter in an open-book format.
Q: Can Neuroxa tell the difference between allowed notes and a banned AI tool? Yes, you configure an allowed-resource policy; only tabs/apps outside that list get flagged.
Q: Does this slow down students who are just reading their notes? No — reading permitted material never triggers a flag; only out-of-policy activity does.
Q: Is this common for graduate-level open-book finals? Yes, especially in professional programs (MBA, law, public health) that use open-book format but still need academic-integrity assurance.
Q: How is this different from a closed-book Moodle exam setup? Only the environment-layer rules change — what's whitelisted; identity and behavior monitoring work the same either way.
