What is Respondus Lockdown Browser and Monitor?
Respondus Lockdown Browser and Monitor is a product that can be used to protect the integrity of online exams and quizzes. It integrates with Canvas and works as a stand alone web browser that students use when taking quizzes in Canvas.
The browser prevents access to other applications and also disables the ability for students to print, take screen captures, or copying and pasting while taking the quiz.
Monitor is an expander part of the Lockdown Browser where a web cam contented to the student's computer records video of the environment before and during administration of the exam. This allows more flexibility for students in not having to find a proctor when taking high stakes exams.
Why this product?
A few years ago UNO investigated a variety of products and based on requirements gathered Respondus was the thumbs up from instructors and students who piloted the software. One of the big factors for selecting Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor is no one wanted to pass on additional costs to the students.
How to Access Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor
There are six steps to complete when using Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor in your Canvas course.
- Let students know early in the course that you will be using the LockDown Browser for quiz/exams. If you plan on using Monitor, make sure students know a webcam will be required. Place information like this in course notes of MavLINK and then follow-up in your syllabus and course announcements within Canvas.
- Create a quiz within Canvas.
- Select the Lock Down Browser option in course menu to set a quiz.
- Modify Settings will display all the options that can be used when setting up a quiz to use the LockDown Browser or LockDown Browser and Monitor
- Video Review is used to review a recording of student taking exam. Respondus flags areas of concern for review.
- If students have not downloaded LockDown Browser and they start a LockDown Browser quiz they receive a link to download the LockDown Browser specific for Canvas and UNO. Here is the UNO link that you can add to syllabus, announcements, etc. https://www.respondus.com/lockdown/download.php?id=288643809
- Make sure students have information on the technical requirements for installing the browser. Remind the students they cannot use smart phone app to take quiz. There is an iPad option but it must be enabled by the instructor.
- It is strongly recommended to have a small practice quiz (points optional) to make sure students are ready for the real deal.
