Articles describing how to set up Respondus Lockdown Browser & Monitor in Blackboard course assessments.
Are you interested in using Respondus with your Blackboard course, but are unsure which tool you need to use? Respondus actually has several products, Respondus 4.0, Lockdown Browser and Monitor that are all available for use at GVSU.
Respondus LockDown Browser (RLDB) is a custom web browser that locks students into their online testing environment for the duration of an exam. Respondus Monitor builds upon LockDown Browser to provide fully automated proctoring. Both tools provide an added layer of security so that students are deterred from cheating. Instructors can activate these tools when setting up their assessment in Blackboard.
When deciding whether to use remote proctoring for an assessment, it's important to consider several pedagogical factors to ensure that the assessment method aligns with your educational goals and values. Remote proctoring can be a valuable tool in certain situations, but it may not be suitable for all assessments. Remote proctoring does add another layer of complexity for both you and the student that needs to be addressed through the use of best practices for delivering proctored assessments.
