Description
Are you interested in learning to use Respondus Lockdown Browser (RLDB) in your course to ensure test security? RLDB is a tool designed to reduce students’ opportunities for academic misconduct during assessments, including high-stakes testing offered through Blackboard. The application disables a test taker's computer from performing certain actions, including taking screenshots, opening additional web pages or search engines, accessing particular network traffic, and generally restricting the opportunities for students to receive outside help.
RLDB can also operate in conjunction with Respondus Monitor which leverages students' computer cameras for real-time proctoring. A monitor session can be viewed live by the instructor through a web conferencing platform, or the system records the student taking the test so the instructor can view later.
Join this session for an overview of how you can use these applications to provide a recording of students' audio and video during the test or to block students from accessing other applications and websites on their screen. Additional functionality supports multi-camera usage, recording the desktop, and showing your work to support virtual assessments.

-
How to use LockDown Browser to prevent digital cheating during exams
