Remove a Handheld Device Flag in Respondus Monitor

Respondus Monitor can alert instructors when a device is detected in a student’s hand during an online exam. But in situations where an instructor wants to exclude this flag from proctoring results (such as math exams where calculators are permitted), it is easily adjusted after the assessment.

When to Use?

Respondus Monitor can alert instructors when a device is detected in a student’s hand during an online exam. Flagging of handheld devices occurs automatically but in situations where an instructor wants to exclude this flag from proctoring results (such as math exams where calculators are permitted), it is easily adjusted after the assessment.

Procedure

1. Navigate to the test in the Lockdown Browser Dashboard, click its dropdown and select Class Results.

1. Select the “Sensitivity” dropdown, uncheck Handheld devices, and then click Apply.

The Handheld Device flags are then removed from proctoring results and the Review Priority scores are updated for the class.

NOTE: Handheld device detection works with both frontal and side-positioned webcams. The system is trained to identify a device even when only a small part is visible in the video.
