IMPLEMENTATION
Respondus Monitor is a test proctoring system that uses the audio-visual capabilities of a student's desktop or laptop. (This does not work with the operating system of a phone.)
To implement Respondus, faculty first need to create a quiz/test/exam in Canvas.
It is recommended to select the NEW QUIZ format.
Respondus Monitor is an extension of the LockDown Browser and is accessed via a link in the navigational menu.
STEP 1: Select the Quiz/Test/Exam
First, build your assessment. The assessment has nothing to do with the LockDown Browser, so there is no alteration on the content. The LockDown Browser simply a switch.
- Select LockDown Browser from the navigational menu on the left-hand side of the page.
- Select the drop-down menu for the particular assessment that you want to lockdown.
STEP 2: Choose the Parameters
- Select the radial button for Require LockDown Browser for this exam.
- This is the section for the Advanced Settings that is accessed by selecting the "+." There are some useful options provided, and links Explain their function.
STEP 3: Save and Close
After setting your parameters, Save + Close the dialog window.
Require Respondus Monitor
Under the Respondus Monitor section, select Require Respondus Monitor to view options for the settings. Review and select the settings that you would like to apply.
iPad Permissions for Respondus Monitor
Respondus Monitor handles iPads differently from laptops or desktop computers. A separate permission must be activated to allow students to use their iPads with Respondus Monitor.
Respondus Monitor's Advanced Settings
When the Monitor function is activated, new settings become available under the section heading of RESPONDUS MONITOR. Under ADVANCED SETTINGS, there is a checkbox for "Allow use of an iPad for this exam." If you know you have a student in your class, you will have to activate this setting for all of your assessments.
STARTUP SEQUENCE
There are few different parameters that can be selected for the quiz. The options that are NOT selectable are WEBCAM CHECK and FACE DETECTION. The parameters are outlined in resource materials provided in the Tutorial tab. Here is an informative video from the support collection.
