Enabling Respondus Monitor on an Exam/Test/Quiz

   Note: Respondus (test authoring software) and Respondus LockDown Browser are two very different software programs, both made by the company Respondus. 

   Faculty Tip: It is recommended to include a zero-point practice quiz using LockDown Browser before students take an actual exam in a course using LockDown Browser. Creating a practice quiz with unlimited attempts and leaving it open all semester will let students become familiar with the interface and run any necessary updates on their computers before taking an actual course assessment.
