Please review how to create a Secure Quiz in Canvas before you continue with Respondus. You can use Cal Poly's Learning Management System to Assess Student Learning (Canvas) before you jump into Test Proctoring. Respondus LockDown Browser (alone - not with Monitor) is a less intrusive methods that does not require webcams. Many students with learning disabilities need to talk out loud to help process the information.
Now that we are all teaching virtually and exams are online, the rapid response to using video proctoring can be problematic for our students. NOTE: although these tools can help prevent cheating, it is not 100% prevention. Students can use either an internal or external webcam with Monitor. Monitor is suitable for low or medium-stakes exams that require student monitoring. After a student has taken an exam, instructors can review sessions to check for any suspect behavior. It serves as a deterrent to students using secondary computers, phones, calculators, textbooks, or receiving assistance from other students. Respondus Monitor (added after COVID) is an additional tool to LockDown Browser. Monitor is a video monitoring service that uses the Lockdown Browser. LockDown Browser is a great resource for on-site proctoring in campus labs. LockDown Browser is just a secure browser that does not allow students to print, open new windows/tabs, or move outside of the quiz to other programs while taking a quiz.
