What is Respondus?

Respondus LockDown Browser is a locked down browser that colleges and universities use to secure online exams delivered through a learning management system, preventing students from printing, copying, opening other applications, or using virtual machines and screen sharing during a test. It works with Blackboard, Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle, Sakai, and Schoology. Respondus Monitor is an add on that records student webcam video during the exam.

Monitor's recordings go through an automated review that flags uncertain activity for instructor follow up, and can require ID checks and an environment scan before the exam starts. Institutions pay a flat first year fee of 4,950 dollars for Monitor, with tiered renewal pricing afterward, while individual students can buy a 12 month subscription for 15 dollars covering all courses at their school.
