Respondus Monitor

Respondus Monitor is a companion application for LockDown Browser that acts as a virtual proctor for online exams. Using webcam and video technology to record student test-taking, the Monitor tool discourages cheating during online exams and promotes a more successful learning environment.

The tool integrates seamlessly with Blackboard and is ideal for non-proctored test administration.
