Policy & Related Guidelines for Use of Respondus Lockdown Browser (RLDB) and Respondus Monitor

Summary

To make the online testing environment more equitable, secure, and accessible, 麻花视频 University makes Respondus LockDown Browser and a companion technology, Respondus Monitor, available for use by faculty, at their discretion, for courses or sections of courses designated by the Office of the Registrar in the catalog or course schedule as Distance Education courses (ONLIN, ONSYN, ONLTD, ONFLX, or HYBRD).

Respondus LockDown Browser functions as a stand-alone web browser which limits user access to other applications, files, folders, or websites based on pre-determined criteria. Respondus Monitor is a separate, companion technology that uses the users’ web cameras to record their activity during tests where the instructor has required the use of Respondus LockDown Browser. Respondus Monitor cannot be used independently of LockDown Browser; however, LockDown Browser can be used without Monitor.

Instructors, preceptors, or proctors may require the use of LockDown Browser in any testing situation they deem appropriate; however, the use of remote proctoring and monitoring software, like Respondus Monitor, is authorized only for Distance Education courses (with exceptions made as described in the policy for usage below).

Policy

Because of the nature of the technology and its potential impact on student performance, faculty using Respondus LockDown Browser as a stand-alone technology, or in concert with Respondus Monitor, are expected to conform to the requirements outlined in this policy.

• For any and all uses of Respondus LockDown Browser and/or Monitor -- including plans to use implement technology in the event of an unanticipated event such as student illness or emergency class cancellation or campus closure, the following must be disclosed in the syllabus:
  • Technology requirements (web cam & microphone)
• Use of Respondus Monitor is pre-authorized for courses or sections of courses designated by the Office of the Registrar in the catalog or course schedule as Distance Education courses (ONLIN, ONSYN, ONLTD, ONFLX, or HYBRD). Monitoring technology may not be employed in other courses, including face-to-face courses, without prior, written authorization as described below in this policy.
• To use Respondus Monitor in a course or section of a course that is not designated as a Distance Education course, the course instructor must obtain written authorization for an exception to this policy from their department chair, their dean (or dean's designee), and the provost. To request an exception to the policy and permission to use Respondus Monitor in a non-Distance Education course, complete the Online Monitoring Request Form).
  • Requests for exceptions must be received no later than 30 days prior to the start of the semester in which the technology will be deployed.
  • A new request must be made for each semester and for each course section in which a faculty member wishes to seek an exemption from this policy.
• The use of Respondus Monitor is actively audited; unauthorized use will result in a direct charge to the unauthorized users’ department budget.

Note: This policy may be suspended upon request in the event of a continuity of learning emergency such as that defined in the WNE Inclement Weather Policy. A request for an exception to the policy should be made by the Dean (or Dean's designee) of the requesting program to the Director of ETT (as the provost’s designee).
