Lock students into browser until exam is completed |
Prevents students from exiting LockDown Browser before an exam is submitted for grading. Optionally, a password can be entered to enable a proctor to close the browser during an exam. When this option is not selected, a student can exit the browser if their Internet connection fails or there is an emergency. Students will receive two warnings before they can close the browser and must enter a reason for exiting the exam early. The reason will be available to the instructor from the Respondus LockDown Browser Dashboard. |

Enter the names of students permitted to use screen reader software to take their Schoology tests in the Respondus LockDown Browser. |

Monitor webcam settings
If your school has a Respondus Monitor license, you can enable and configure the Monitor feature for a test, quiz, or assessment by selecting Require Respondus Monitor for this exam. Schools without a Monitor license will not have these options in the LockDown Browser Dashboard. Contact your Respondus representative to learn about available Monitor options.
Alternatively, from Monitor Webcam Settings, select Either Respondus Monitor or a proctored lab can be used to take this exam. When this option is selected, and an exam password is entered, students can take the exam using LockDown Browser only by entering the password. In this case, the exam session will not be recorded with a webcam. This setting is typically used when students can take the exam remotely with Respondus Monitor or in a proctored lab without webcam monitoring.
The optional exam password can also be used in emergencies, allowing students who are unable to get their webcam working to bypass webcam recording and take the exam using LockDown Browser only.
All webcams are compatible with Respondus Monitor. If a test requires Monitor, students are responsible for using a computer with a working webcam. As a best practice, instructors may schedule a practice Monitor test so students can resolve any technical issues in a low-stress environment before taking their first exam with Monitor.
