Participants may choose to evaluate LockDown Browser, Monitor, or both. Pilot testing will run from&nbsp;<strong>August 24 \u2013 October 9, encompassing the start of the Fall 2026 semester and A1 accelerated term, not including A2 part of term.<\/strong>&nbsp;Access to the tool will continue until October 31 when a decision will be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faculty interested in participating are asked to complete the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mtsu.iad1.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_b9P20DMTaQzO2ai\">Course Information Form<\/a>\u00a0to identify the course(s) they plan to use during the pilot. Up to ten courses may be submitted on a single form.\u00a0Participants will be asked to complete a short feedback survey at the conclusion of the pilot to help inform future decisions regarding online proctoring services at MTSU. Your feedback and experience are essential to evaluate technologies that support academic integrity and student success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pilot includes the use of both <a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/lockdownbrowser\/\">Respondus LockDown Browser<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/monitor\/\">Monitor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mtsu-blocks-expandable-item accordion-item expandable-heading expandable-heading-lightblock\"><h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"headingabout-respondus\"><button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapsenewExpandableabout-respondus\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapsenewExpandableabout-respondus\">About Respondus<\/button><\/h2><div id=\"collapsenewExpandableabout-respondus\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse expandable-content expandable-content-lightblock\" aria-labelledby=\"headingabout-respondus\" data-bs-parent=\"#newExpandable\"><div class=\"accordion-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Respondus&nbsp;LockDown Browser is a customized browser that helps secure online assessments by preventing students from opening additional tabs, accessing other websites, printing, copying content, or using unauthorized applications during an exam.&nbsp;Respondus&nbsp;Monitor adds webcam and microphone recording capabilities, allowing instructors to review testing sessions and identify potential testing irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/lockdownbrowser\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/lockdownbrowser\/\">Respondus LockDown Browser (LDB)<\/a> is a customized web browser designed to restrict students from opening new tabs, visiting other websites, copying text, printing, and\/or accessing other applications on their devices as they take exams through the learning management system (Canvas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/monitor\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/monitor\/\">Respondus Monitor<\/a> is an additional feature that uses the student\u2019s webcam and microphone to record them and their testing environment as exams are completed through the learning management system (Canvas).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mtsu-blocks-image-buttons image-landing-bucket\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-mtsu-blocks-image-button image-bucket\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtsu.edu\/canvas\/respondus-faculty-resources\/\" target=\"\"><div class=\"content\"><h2>Faculty<br>Resources<\/h2><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mtsu-blocks-image-button image-bucket\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtsu.edu\/canvas\/respondus-student-resources\/\" target=\"\"><div class=\"content\"><h2>Student<br>Resources<\/h2><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ITD and MTSU Online are launching a structured pilot of Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor proctoring software.
