Respondus - Enabling Proctoring for a Quiz or Exam

Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within a learning management system. Important Note: If you do not see the Respondus block, contact E-Learning at elearning@southwesterncc.edu to have it added to your course.

We highly recommend adding in a sample ungraded quiz requiring LockDown browser so students have an opportunity to test the software prior to a higher-stakes assessment.
