Respondus Monitor® is the leading remote proctoring solution for higher education. It allows students to take online assessments from a remote location - all while ensuring the integrity of the exam process.
-
Builds upon LockDown Browser
It starts with LockDown Browser, a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within a learning system. Students cannot print, copy, access other applications, or search the internet during an online exam.
-
Fully-Automated Proctoring
Respondus Monitor is a fully-automated proctoring solution. Students use a webcam to record themselves during an online exam. Afterward, flagged events and proctoring results are available to the instructor for further review.
-
"Auto-Launches" from any Browser
After a quick one-time installation, Respondus Monitor launches from the student's preferred browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) whenever the exam settings require it. Students are then guided through a pre-exam sequence, including a webcam check.
-
Integrates Seamlessly with LMSs + Publisher Systems
Respondus Monitor integrates seamlessly with learning systems like Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace, Schoology, Pearson MyLab and Mastering, McGraw Hill ALEKS, Cengage WebAssign, and Hawkes Learning. Students and instructors access exams within their learning system as they normally would, including the post-exam review of proctoring results.
-
No Scheduling or Registration
There’s no need to schedule a proctoring session in advance. Students and instructors don’t even have to register at the Respondus website.
-
Supports most Devices
Respondus Monitor isn’t just a browser plugin. It offers a native, feature-rich experience for Windows, Mac, Chromebook and iPad devices.

Security and privacy start with great architecture. But it takes a dedicated and obsessed team to ensure it gets done right…And while the acronyms might seem a little overwhelming at times (FERPA, GDPR, CCPA, HECVAT, SOC 2, TX-RAMP, etc.) — rest assured that we've got it covered.
