The Respondus tools have officially been enabled for use on tests within Blackboard's Ultra Courses. For an overview of the purpose of Respondus tools in Scholar, navigate here. For a guide on using Respondus tools within tests on Original courses, head here.
On Ultra courses, all potential tools that can be added to a course outside of basic course content are housed within Books and Tools. Select Books and Tools to open the menu, and select the Respondus Browser Dashboard from the list.
This will bring you to the basic dashboard. This dashboard includes additional tutorials, guides and support for users to utilize while inside the tool. The section of the tool labeled with the specific label "Dashboard" will contain a list of all tests within the course, along with information on whether they have Respondus tools enabled. Select the dropdown next to a test's name.
Click "Settings" to edit the settings for that specific test.
The initial settings that will appear are only for Respondus LockDown Browser. If you select "Require Respondus Lockdown Browser for this exam", more advanced settings will appear to let you further customize how students will use the LockDown Browser on this test.
Additional settings for Proctoring will also appear.
- To enable remote, automated proctoring, select "Require Respondus Monitor for this exam". This form of proctoring will utilize Respondus Monitor to make private recordings of students taking the exam in real time, using their computer's webcam.
- If you intend to use live proctoring, use "Allow Instructor live proctoring for this exam". This option will allow you to set up live, remote proctoring where students have a platform such as Google Meet or Collaborate on in the background while they take the test, allowing you to monitor them in real time using their webcam.
