Back in May 2016, Faculty Senate approved Required Procedures and Recommended Practices to Address Security and Quality of Online Courses. The Center for eLearning is committed to providing resources to help faculty achieve the goals of the security and quality policy. We offer the following technologies, along with consulting for faculty, to help identify the right tools and practices to promote academic honesty in their courses.

Proctoring

There are 4 different types of proctoring tools available to faculty who teach online. Each tool has different levels of proctoring and/or promoting a fair testing environment:

1. Respondus LockDown Browser â€“ This tool creates an environment where a test is administered in a specialized browser that does not allow students to browse outside of the testing environment. 
2. Respondus Monitor â€“ This tool allows students to record their testing environment via webcam. The video can be viewed later by the instructor.  
3. Honorlock â€“ Recorded proctoring (via webcam) with live pop-in and additional features for proctoring for the testing environment.
