These applications are used to deter cheating during online exams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LockDown Browser<\/strong> prevents students from printing, copying, going to different URLs or accessing other applications during an online exam. It&rsquo;s ideal for use in testing centers and proctored environments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Respondus Monitor<\/strong> enhances LockDown Browser by using a student&rsquo;s webcam to record the assessment session. This enables online exams to be taken in non-proctored environments and deters students from accessing other resources during an exam (such as a phone, a second computer, etc.). It also ensures the right student is taking the exam and that the student isn&rsquo;t getting help from others.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/academics\/distance\/elearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/82\/2022\/09\/Remote-Proctoring-Guidance-2022-09-07.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnstate Remote Proctoring Guidance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You may find the following resources helpful in getting started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Overview video<i title=\"External link\" class=\"bsu-icon bsu-icon-external-link small ms-1\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/lockdownbrowser\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Instructor Resources for LockDown Browser<i title=\"External link\" class=\"bsu-icon bsu-icon-external-link small ms-1\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/monitor\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Instructor Resources for Respondus Monitor<i title=\"External link\" class=\"bsu-icon bsu-icon-external-link small ms-1\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&rsquo;d like to attend a training webinar hosted by Respondus, you&rsquo;ll find <a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/webinars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">dates and registration information on their site<i title=\"External link\" class=\"bsu-icon bsu-icon-external-link small ms-1\"><\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/RLDB-Quick-Start-Guide-Brightspace-Instructor.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: 1rem\">Respondus Instructor Quick Start Guide<\/strong><i title=\"External link\" class=\"bsu-icon bsu-icon-external-link small ms-1\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/academics\/distance\/elearning\/education-technology\/respondus-4-0\/\"><strong>Respondus 4.0 Test Generator<\/strong><\/a>: Respondus 4.0 is a powerful tool for creating and managing exams that can be published directly to D2L or printed for paper-based exams.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/respondus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Additional information about the Respondus 4.0 software<i title=\"External link\" class=\"bsu-icon bsu-icon-external-link small ms-1\"><\/i><\/a> and the Respondus 4.0 Test Bank Network.<\/p>\n<p>Faculty may purchase individual licenses online at Respondus.<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/support\/respondus-single-user\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/support\/respondus-single-user\/ <i title=\"External link\" class=\"bsu-icon bsu-icon-external-link small ms-1\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-78 alignleft img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/academics\/distance\/elearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/82\/2022\/05\/icon-microsoft-teams-150x150-1.png\" alt=\"Teams logo\" width=\"99\" height=\"99\" data-bp=\"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/academics\/distance\/elearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/82\/2022\/05\/icon-microsoft-teams-150x150-1.png\">Microsoft Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Teams allows you and your group to share and edit documents, chat, have instant video meetings, all in a private and secure environment.You can find the Team web client from your Office 365 home page, but it is recommend to use the dedicated desktop client.
