The Monitor Interface in SimCapture Enterprise allows authorized users to observe and evaluate live exam sessions in real time. This tool is essential for maintaining exam integrity, supporting evaluators, and ensuring accurate documentation of learner performance.

New Feature: Non-Encounter Monitoring

Faculty can now monitor live exam sessions before and after the encounter phase using the Monitor Interface. Monitoring is available from the moment a student logs in until they log out, allowing faculty to observe:

• SP readiness before the encounter begins
• Student interactions during the session
• Post-encounter debriefs between SP and student

This enhancement supports more holistic evaluation and comprehensive feedback.

To use the Monitor Interface, you must:

• Be part of an organization using SimCapture Enterprise with the Exam System
