Question:

• How do I get started with remote proctoring tool Respondus Monitor in D2L Brightspace?

Answer:

• Getting started
  • Respondus Monitor is a remote proctoring tool that conveniently integrates with D2L. It uses the student’s webcam and microphone to record testing sessions for later review. No one watches live while a student takes a test. This software contributes to academic integrity by providing a way to verify student identity and by providing a deterrent to cheating.
  • Respondus Monitor is installed as an addition to Respondus LockDown Browser. LockDown Browser is available for any course at the instructor’s request and is useful for administering exams in a classroom with a proctor present. Monitor, however, should only be used in courses that have indicated in the class schedule that remote proctoring would be required.
