Online Testing
Respondus® LockDown Browser + Monitor is a set of software tools that promote academic honesty when taking online tests via an LMS such as Canvas.
- Respondus® Monitor creates a reviewable video of your student taking the assessment.
- Respondus® LockDown Browser ensures that your students cannot use other tools on the computer when completing the assessment.
Respondus® LockDown Browser
Respondus® Lockdown Browser is a custom browser that helps prevent cheating by locking down the testing environment in Canvas. When students use Lockdown Browser to access a quiz, they are unable to print, copy, visit other websites, conduct internet searches, access other applications, or close a quiz until it is submitted for grading. Instructors can even elect to require the use of the Lockdown Browser while students are reviewing their exam results to prevent them from printing or copying/pasting exam questions and answers.
Respondus® Monitor
Respondus® Monitor is a companion to the LockDown Browser software. With the Monitor feature also enabled, students would be required to activate their webcam and microphone while taking a non-proctored exam environment. Instructors can review details of the student taking the assessment including reviewing the webcam videos. This ensures that the student who is actually enrolled in the course is the same individual taking the exam.
