Respondus Monitor Guide

This guide provides instructions on setting up Respondus Monitor with a quiz that has Respondus LockDown Browser enabled. Respondus Monitor enables the instructor to protect the integrity of exams when taken in a non-proctored online environment. Here, students follow a startup sequence by providing identification and verifying their environment. The student’s environment is recorded throughout the exam.

   2. Check the boxes as per your need like either Respondus Monitor or a proctored lab can be used to take this exam If this option is selected, students not using monitor will still need to use LockDown Browser to take the quiz.
   
   
4. You can use a checklist sequence to check the environment just to make sure everything is working. You can also reorder the check actions by using the double-sided arrow mark.
   
5. It is possible to edit the text that will display at the time of the event. You can do this by clicking on the edit text button beside a particular event. Change the text as required and click on the “Save and Close” button below.

   They are:
   
   1. Allow another application to use the microphone during this exam. This option lets you choose if you want to allow use of microphone by an application other than Respondus Monitor. For example, a foreign language application where students provide oral answers.
   2. Make webcam videos additionally available for viewing on mobile devices (allow 24 hours). By checking this option, you can allow the videos to be stored on user’s devices for 24 hours.
