Taking an exam with Respondus Monitor with a webcam
LockDown browsers are supported by universities and colleges. You can also use the webcam function to conduct your exam. You must first set up the quiz in the browser and enable the Respondus Monitor. Once the quiz is created, you will be able to use the Webcam to take the exam. The webcam will record your face and provide the instructor with video evidence of your performance. You can then use the webcam during the exam to answer questions.
During the exam, you must present identifying documents. Click 'Environment Check to record the environment where you are taking the exam. 'Facial Detection Check' checks whether the student's face is in the camera's frame. To turn on the microphone, you'll need to follow the steps in the Support Guide.

FAQ
How much multimedia should an eLearning class contain?
This depends on what you're trying to achieve. It is better to have a shorter delivery time if you want to convey information quickly. However, if you are looking at delivering training that will help people learn how to do something, then more may be better.
The most important thing is to know what your goals are for your eLearning courses. Understanding what learners expect from your course is essential. This will enable your course to be able to deliver the content necessary to accomplish your objectives.
For example:
It's best to give people lots of examples to learn about Microsoft Word. You would also need to demonstrate many different spreadsheets to help people learn Excel.
Consider whether you would like to illustrate concepts with images or video.
Video is great for teaching people how to do things, but it's not as good at explaining complex topics. It is also expensive to produce. Although images are much cheaper to produce than video, they lack the same emotion and impact.
The bottom line: You need to be clear about your goals before creating an eLearning program.
How can I choose the right eLearning platform?
There are many eLearning platforms today. Some are free while others are more costly.
It is important to ask yourself questions before you make a decision about which option is best for you.
-
Are you interested in creating your own learning materials? You can create your own eLearning courses with a variety of free tools. These tools include Adobe Captivate and Articulate Storyline as well as Lectora and iSpring Suite.
-
Do you offer ready-made courses in eLearning? Many companies offer pre-packaged courses. They cost from $20 to $100 for each course. Mindjet and Edusoft are the most well-known.
-
Do I want a combination of both? Many people find that mixing their own materials with those supplied by companies produces the best results.
-
Which option is best for me? It all depends upon your situation. If you are new to eLearning, then you may want to start out by creating your own materials. You may also want to consider buying a pre-designed course once you've gained some experience.
What is the greatest challenge to online learning?
The most difficult thing is to keep students engaged through the course. It is difficult to keep students interested in the lessons you teach. How can they expect to learn anything else? You can make sure your students are focused by giving them lots of options. It means that they can choose the modules they wish to study first, the chapters they wish to read next, the exercises they would like to attempt, the tests they would like to take, the assignments they would like to start working on, as well as which websites, videos, and games they'd like to play.
