Respondus gives instructors the ability to administer proctored online exams through Moodle or Canvas. Using Respondus to proctor an online exam will reduce cheating. (Students must have a webcam in order to take a proctored exam.) This workshop reviews the Respondus tools and processes for enabling the lockdown browser, using the proctoring service, reviewing red flags, and trouble-shooting problems.

Pedagogy Connection: Online courses provide flexibility in learning, but online exams to assess student learning are difficult to monitor. This workshop on Respondus helps to ensure that the students in the class are the people taking the exam and not cheating while doing so.

This session will introduce you to the capabilities of the newest version of TechSmith Relay to record lectures and presentations that can be shared with students. Capture everything that you can display on a computer screen, including PowerPoint presentations, and interactions with software or web sites. Along with the video from the computer screen, record your voice and other audio, and optionally your face with a webcam. The simplicity of Relay makes it easy to record, publish and share your videos. Relay allows you to add quiz questions to your videos, as well. Relay is installed in classrooms on all PC teaching stations. Relay is available for students to use as well.

Pedagogy Connection: TechSmith Relay enables instructors to create high quality and engaging instructional videos for any course.
