Taking a quiz using Respondus Monitor

You may be required to use LockDown Browser with Respondus Monitor, which will record you during an online exam.

If an exam requires the use of both Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor, you will need the following items:

  • A webcam and a microphone connected to your computer or device. Please see this resource on webcam alternatives.
  • Your WolfCard or a government-issued photo ID for the identity check.
  • A strong Internet connection.

If a quiz requires LockDown Browser and Monitor, follow the steps in the Beginning a Quiz using LockDown Browser section (above). At this point, the Startup Sequence for Monitor begins.

  1. You will first need to review and agree to the Terms of Use.
  2. The Webcam Check will then confirm that your webcam and microphone are working properly.
  3. The remaining steps of the Startup Sequence will depend on the settings chosen by your instructor.
  4. Follow the instructions and note your progress along the left side of the screen.
  5. If you encounter a problem, select the it’s not working link for troubleshooting tips and access to 24/7 Live Chat Help.

The quiz will begin after the Startup Sequence is complete.
