Tools to prevent cheating on online exams

SLU has installed Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor for Blackboard Learn. It is designed to enable a secure test taking environment in Blackboard. Students download the browser on Mac or PC and use it to log into Blackboard to take LockDown Browser enabled exams. The Respondus Monitor is an AI based Remote proctoring tool that leverages the LockDown Brower, the student’s webcam, and video analytics to monitor a student while taking the online exam and alert the instructor to possible issues.

The Respondus LockDown Browser tool within Blackboard comes with a built-in web site with all of the information you need to get started.

1. Make sure the tool is enabled by going to Control Panel/Customization/Tool Availabilty
2. Scroll down to Respondus LockDown Browser and make sure the first check box, for availabilty, is checked. If it isn't, check the box and click 'submit.'
3. When the tool is available, navigate to Control Panel/Course Tools and scroll down to Respondus LockDown Browser and click.
4. This will launch the Respondus LockDown Browser Dashboard. There are excellent training materials on this page including videos, tips for getting started and resources for best practices, including the very important test exam to make sure everything is working properly.
5. On the lower right is a button that says 'Continue to LockDown Browser.' Clicking there will take you to a list of tests.
6. From there, you can edit the settings for individual tests that have been deployed in your course to make them require LockDown Browser.
7. Click here for a quick start guide for faculty from Respondus.
8. Click below for a quick start guide for preparing a test in Respondus Lockdown Browser.
9. It is highly recommended that faculty run at least one practice exam with Respondus LockDown Browser and/or Monitor before a live exam. This will help ensure that students' computers and webcams are working properly and any issues can be addressed in advance.
10. Minimum system requirements:

Windows: 10, 8, 7
Mac: MacOS 10.15 to 10.12, OS X 10.11, OSX 10.10
iOS: 11.0+ (iPad only). Must have a compatible LMS integration. Details.
Memory: Windows: 75 MB permanent space on the hard drive
Mac: 120 MB permanent space on the hard drive
LockDown Browser is a client application that is installed to a local computer. Both the Windows edition and the Mac edition of the browser are based on Chromium, Google's open source framework. Students do NOT need Google's Chrome browser installed; nor will this version affect a Chrome browser that's already installed.
Monitor requires student to have a web cam on their computer.
