Online Proctoring

There are various methods to help deliver online exams in a secure environment. The first requirement is proper hardware. The second requirement is to choose the best software for your class.

Software Options

Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor

Available to all faculty at FAU. This Canvas integrated software works like a browser that is made just for online testing. Can be used for any number of quiz-type assignments per course.

Read the document below for full details on installing, using, and getting assistance.

Share this document with your students to help guide them through installing and using.

Proctorio

To support academic integrity, some exams are monitored using Proctorio, an automated proctoring tool built into Canvas. When enabled, it will automatically launch when students begin an exam and no separate login is required.

Students will be prompted to install the Proctorio browser extension (Chrome or Edge) before beginning their exam.

Alternatives to Proctoring

Sometimes your students are unable to use traditional or online proctoring solutions due to a听lack of a webcam. In these instances, alternative assessment strategies can be a strong solution.

The document below contains many assessment strategies within Canvas for both high and low enrollment courses.
