Respondus LockDown Browser is a tool that proctors student testing remotely. Start the process here. This link will enroll you in the course. You can start whenever you are ready. If you are using proctoring software, students must have access to a computer, reliable internet, and depending upon the level of proctoring you choose – a webcam. These items should be listed as required resources at the beginning of the semester, if you intend to use proctoring software. You should also prepare to run your students through proctoring tests before administering in a test environment. The earlier you begin this process, the better for you and your students.
