Create an ungraded practice quiz in your course so students may test their system with Lockdown Browser prior to completing a graded exam.
Instructor Live Proctoring
- Instructor Live Proctoring has been tested and will work with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, but any web-based video conferencing system should work.
- Students can use the lockdown browser for Windows, Mac, or the new Chromebook Extension.
- Lockdown Browser for iPad does not directly support this option, but similar results can be achieved if a second device is used.
- Students should have the latest version of the lockdown browser.
- Live Proctoring and Respondus Monitor cannot be used at the same time.
- Only recommended for small classes as the instructor must:
- manage the logistics of getting students logged into the video conference system,
- take attendance,
- watch students during the exam,
- and track whether students leave the video conferencing session.
- This can be challenging if the class size is more than 20-25 students.
