Respondus integrates with the Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS) allowing you to create quizzes, self-tests and surveys in a stand-alone application (Microsoft Word for instance) on your Windows computer. After having created an assessment, you can upload it directly into a course, or to multiple courses, bypassing the need to create the quiz in the LMS.
Respondus 4.0
Respondus 4.0 is software that allows an instructor to upload assessment questions, in various formats, directly into Blackboard. Note: Respondus 4.0 currently works only on computers running Windows.
Respondus LockDown Browser
Respondus LockDown Browser is a browser - just like Edge or Chrome - that students download to take Respondus LockDown designated assessments. The Respondus LockDown Brower is different than any other browser because it prevents any other software to be open/opened while an assessment is in progress.
- Respondus Monitor requires a webcam and records a student while he/she is taking an exam. It flags the instructor if the student does anything "suspicious" during the exam.
- Respondus Proctor allows students to keep Zoom open while they are taking an assessment so the instructor can watch the class/individuals while they are taking their exam.
