This course was created to demonstrate the use of Respondus' Lock Down Browser and Monitor for monitoring students taking online exams. These tools should be used together on high-stakes exams and quizzes.

To participate in the course you will need to have access to a computer with a webcam.

In this course, there is one quiz, "Sample Quiz." The security measures which have been put in place are outlined below.

Within the Canvas Quiz creation:

Shuffle the answers to the questions
Offer questions one at a time
Lock question after answering
Set a time limit for completing the quiz

Within Respondus:

Require the use of LockDown Browser to limit access to other websites.
Require photo of the student
Require them to show photo ID
Complete an environment check

The quiz is set to allow for multiple attempts, so you can practice using the software. In an actual testing situation, this should not be allowed.

Next Steps
The next step in the course is to take the quiz as a student. So, please read the instructions contained on the next page about how to download and install the Respondus LockDown Browser. You can then launch the LockDown Browser and take the quiz. After you completed the quiz, the course continues by providing information for instructors in terms of setting up a quiz in Canvas and suggested language for the syllabus.

If you decide to use Respondus Lock Down Browser, please notify the CTL. There are a limited number of licenses available.

Good Luck!
