This page outlines remote assessment tools and resources for faculty. ProctorU Record+ is offered by the university at no cost to students. A new assessment tool, Respondus LockDown Browser, is now available for instructors to use. Both Record+ and Respondus LockDown require a Canvas assessment. The Testing Center will offer exam conversion services by request.
Promoting Academic Integrity in a Remote Assessment Environment
There are many solutions in addition to remote proctoring which serve to promote academic integrity — these can include assessment design, use of LMS technical features, and explicit conversation with students to introduce academic integrity concepts.
Available Assessment Tools
ProctorU Record+
Record+ is a service from ProctorU that relies on A.I. based monitoring, as well as live proctors who review the entire footage of students’ exam sessions. This tool requires a stable internet connection and is recommended for medium to high stakes exams. Exams are administered on-demand, without an appointment.
Respondus LockDown
Respondus LockDown is a web browser that restricts access to other webpages, applications, and keyboard shortcuts until the test is submitted. LockDown does not include monitoring functionality, it is typically used in a proctored setting. It is recommended for use with exams or quizzes that are low to medium stakes.
