Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor in Canvas

Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within a learning system. Students cannot print, copy, access other applications, or search the Internet during an online exam.

Respondus Monitor is a fully automated proctoring solution that uses webcam technology to record students during online exams, acting as a deterrent to cheating and providing instructors with post-test analysis. It is a companion application for the Respondus LockDown Browser.

Proctoring Syllabus Statement

All students must review the syllabus and the requirements including the online terms and video testing requirements to determine if they wish to remain in the course. Enrollment in the course is an agreement to abide by and accept all terms. Any student may elect to drop or withdraw from this course before the end of the drop/add period.

Online exams and quizzes within this course may require online proctoring. Therefore, students will be required to have a webcam (USB or internal) with a microphone when taking an exam or quiz. Students understand that this remote recording device is purchased and controlled by the student and that recordings from any private residence must be done with the permission of any person residing in the residence. To avoid any concerns in this regard, students should select private spaces for the testing. The University library and other academic sites at the University offer secure private settings for recordings and students with concerns may discuss location of an appropriate space for the recordings with their instructor or advisor. Students must ensure that any recordings do not invade any third party privacy rights and accept all responsibility and liability for violations of any third party privacy concerns. Setup information will be provided prior to taking the proctored exam. For additional information about online proctoring, you can visit the online proctoring student FAQ.
