Activating the App

Use the Activation Code information you received on the previous page to activate the Respondus Monitor App in your course.

After you have done this, you must now activate Respondus Monitor for each Canvas Quiz that you want to be proctored.

Activating Respondus Monitor for a Quiz/Test

Go to the Respondus Faculty Dashboard, find the exam you want to add proctoring to, and click the arrow to select Settings.

Change LockDown Browser Setting to “Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam.”

Next click the + to open the Advanced Settings menu, and select two options: “Lock students into the browser until the exam is completed” and also “Allow students to take the exam with an iPad.”

In order to have PROCTORING on the exam, with the webcam and audio you must also click the next section on Proctoring:

Change setting to “Require Respondus Monitor (automated proctoring) for this exam."

A new menu opens where you can adjust the instructions students receive, if you want to, and you may also turn on/off the Facial Detection Options.

Click “SAVE + CLOSE” to save the settings for that exam.

Repeat this process on every other exam where you want to use proctoring and Respondus Monitor.

Chromebook and iPad Activation

To allow students to use a Chromebook and/or iPad the Settings must be changed for EACH EXAM.

Open the ‘+ Advanced Settings’ menu, and select the two options that allow students to use a Chromebook and iPad for proctored exams.

If you do not select these options students with a Chromebook or iPad will get a notice telling them to contact the instructor regarding problems with the exam settings.

Copying a Class

You only have to install/activate Respondus in a class once. If you copy that class over the Respondus App and the settings you've created on every exam will copy over, so you won't have to do it again.

However! Once you copy a class over you MUST GO VIEW THE RESPONDUS DASHBOARD in order to activate it in that new course.

If you fail to VIEW the Faculty Dashboard after a course copy Respondus will not activate, and students will not be able to take any proctored quizzes.
