Audio went out.
There you go.
No, I was saying I need a record.
Oh. All right, so this, presentation today is going to be about Respondus.
I know some of you have worked with Respondus before,
so it'll be a refresher for you.
I know some of you have also not, like Respondus is new to you.
What am I getting myself into?
Among other things. Right?
So let's take a look at Respondus.
The first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to open up the chat,
and I'm putting in a link into chat.
And you may or may not already be in this, but this is a link to our Respondus
course within, pipe...
Canvas.
Sorry, too many different trainings today.
I'm going to go ahead and share my screen.
Move us out of the way.
And like all presentations, if you have any questions,
by all means, please, reach out to me, get my attention,
just, you know, throw a hand up and, or whatever it is, just interrupt me.
I have no problems with being interrupted.
And I will get your questions answered.
All right.
And sorry, I just need to organize real quick over here on the right hand side.
And let's get rid of this right here.
So many things.
Can you guys see this bar right here that's moving around?
Yes. If you ever are doing Zoom meetings, this is just a bonus for you.
If you ever doing Zoom meetings and you want it to go away
and you only have one monitor, you can click on the more dots right there
and then come down to “hide float floating meeting controls”.
And that'll hide those for you so that they're not hanging out.
And then if you ever need them back, you just hit the Escape key on your keyboard.
All right.
So as I was saying, I gave you that link,
to a self-enroll into this Respondus course.
And what this link will allow you to do is, as you log in, you're going to log in
as with a student view, meaning you have student access
and you can come down here and continue to try out
different types of exams with Respondus
so that you know what your students are going to be going through.
Now, Respondus, in case you don't know, is, like Proctorio
So if you had proctoring before.
But what it does is it, works on locking down a browser
or the computer's browser so that it makes it more challenging
for our students to be able to cheat on exams.
They can't just go and open up a second monitor and,
look up answers on that monitor.
That's not to say that they couldn't have a second computer available
right there next to them that isn't hooked up.
But, I have two monitors right here.
And what if I was using the Respondus browser?
What it would do is it would lock down all my monitors,
even if I had, like a third and a fourth, everything's locked down,
and only my main monitor is a monitor that would show the exam.
With that, when I say, browser, Respondus
has LockDown Browser and the browser is just like any other web browser.
It's like Chrome, Safari, edge, all of those.
It's just Respondus browser.
And so what that does is that browser just overtakes your computer
and they can't command click or anything to get around the browser.
They are stuck inside that browser.
With that said, and I'll say this when we get to it,
if there are web pages
that you want them to access, not websites.
As far as I can tell, it's just a specific web
page or pages you can't tell Respondus that.
These pages are available for students to look up information.
So with,
that you take in taking a look at this, information
that's inside this module right here, if you are using Respondus
in your course and you don't have this Respondus, LockDown Browser
Monitor module in your course, I do recommend that you, let me know.
And what I will do is I will come here and I will say copy to
and then I'll get your course information and I'll copy it into your course.
Once it's in your course, I will, uncheck this so it won't be published.
So your students won't see the information until you're ready for them to see it.
But the reason we're do, we're recommending this
is because there's some information here
for students that you want to share with your students,
or you might want to share with your students
once it comes over to your course, you can, of course, massage it, make it yours.
Put in any put in information that you want or remove information that you want.
But we try to actually I, we I take credit but it's actually Karen.
If you know Karen here in the FRC,
she's the one that actually put this entire Respondus course together.
And she did a pretty good job about gathering the information
and making it available now, because again, it's a browser.
This means that students do need to download an application
in order to use it, but they have to download the correct
application, meaning
that they can't go to respondus.com and then download a browser.
It's just not going to work because they need a browser.
They need the link that goes specifically to SBCC campus.
Like there's a very specific link, if they if they try to use I think if they
try to use a link from another school, it would not work for them.
So if they're taking two different courses,
they might have to do two different computers on that.
But I actually haven't heard that feedback yet on that.
Like excuse me, I'm getting over the flu here.
If, if we give them one of those example
quizzes for them to try out, and I notice here on where
when you cursor down a little bit, any one of these, these here
when they're going to get the application,
they have to go into some quiz to do it first.
Right.
It depends.
Well, they have to get the application first.
And it's like, unless you put the link inside the quiz.
Let me just open this one up.
This one, please review their like LockDown Browser directions.
So if you click on that, that will open that up.
And then we can see this is all within this course.
But it basically gives just directions.
It doesn't give the download link
where students will get the download link is right here.
How to download the Respondus app.
So we recommend that you open up these two to students.
These top two and it says add you know add to add to your class for student
reference okay.
And so in the well in the instructions it says open up a quiz to do this.
That's why I was so they have to go to some quiz first to be able to do this.
If we go to the instructions again I read that these ones.
Yeah. Okay.
So if you go down just a little bit here,
download instructions, it says select a quiz from the course.
So they have to go to some quiz first, right.
If you have it already install LockDown Browser select the download brush okay.
So what's going to happen is if you have lockdown
this is another way of getting that lockdown.
Browser link.
Thank you for reminding me.
I forgot that that it that I have a download on my computer.
It's been so long.
So if they, if you have LockDown Browser on a quiz
and the student goes to take the quiz, they will get a screen
that says that you need to download LockDown Browser in order
to take that quiz, and that will be the correct link
that is given out in this page right here.
Oh, which is this link right here.
What we're finding from a lot of the instructors who have been going through
LockDown Browser, they just create a page or they massage this page
or they give this page and say do this first download LockDown Browser.
Oh, okay.
And that way the student isn't like all hyperventilating,
trying to figure out what's going on.
They just do it step by step.
Download the browser first.
Once you've got that browser downloaded, then come and do this practice quiz.
Okay, great. Thank you.
Oh no thank you for asking.
So we definitely oh sorry doing random question.
Yeah. Go for it.
Provide you the course Canvas course number in the CRM.
Say it again.
You got to move this over.
Correct.
To request you to move it over you need the class number in the CRM, correct?
Yeah.
If you give me the information that's in the upper left
hand corner of your Canvas shell, that'll work perfectly.
Okay.
Thank you. Yeah.
And it'll end up removing the entire module over.
And it'll be at the very bottom of your modules.
Let's see here.
So there are practice quizzes that you we'd highly recommend
you give to students a week before, not the day of that.
They need to take their whatever quiz that they're going to do,
so that they can figure out what's working and what is not
Respondus has three levels of
protection, for lack of a better word.
That's not a word I'm looking for, though.
They have the LockDown Browser, which locks down their tired computer.
As I was saying before, it's a browser just locks everything down.
They also have what's called a Monitor.
And what the Monitor does is it uses this camera that's on their computer
so that you can watch the student take the exam.
And then they also have the option of doing a screen capture,
which will run a video of everything
that's going on their screen while they take their exam.
Now keep in mind LockDown Browser has everything locked down.
So a lot of people, when they're doing the record, the screen capture,
they're doing it for some specific reason, like they have the students
working out the problem, or they might be having computer issues
so that they can at least the instructor can see
what's going on with the students, like on their end,
to help them troubleshoot what the problem is with their exam.
So for the most part, I personally don't see a reason to have screen recording
beyond that because it also cause, you know, it's more bandwidth.
And some of our students are, you know, internet bandwidth challenged.
Right?
It's it's a lot to, you know, run the video
or collect the video from the camera and then also collect a second
feed, a video that is right here from their screen.
So that's something.
But you might have different reasons.
I'm going to support whatever your reason is.
But for the most part, I think most exams don't need again,
that's just me speaking, don't need the screen recording,
but you do have those three levels to choose from. You.
If you choose to use
any of those three levels, the first one has to be locked down.
Browser.
You can't do the Monitor or the screen recording without.
They just kind of stair step on what on to the next.
Okay, so again, as I was
saying before, we have we have two areas of quizzes.
We have our Classic Quizzes right here.
And so if you clearly and is, you know, is pretty self-explanatory, but
if you're going to give them a practice quiz, give them the practice quiz.
That is what you are requiring during the exam.
If you're only doing the LockDown Browser, you don't want the video feed
of seeing them or or anything else than you give them this practice quiz.
You match it for what it is.
And then, of course, if you want to have the LockDown
Browser with a webcam, I'm just going to reorder these right now.
There you go.
LockDown Browser plus the webcam again.
That's that video of me.
You can do that. That's called Monitor.
And then of course then you have the other one which includes
screen recording you as the instructor.
I know that these are labeled this way, but respond
this is the one that labels these quizzes as you choose what it is you want to do.
When Karen created this, she just called it, you know,
Classic Quiz practice.
And then did you add the note at Open LockDown Browser?
Do you remember that?
I believe that a Respondus put that on there.
Yeah.
And so there is a difference between the New Quizzes.
Sorry.
Classic Quizzes which is this outlined rocket right here.
Let me make this a little bit bigger.
This outline rocket right here.
That's a Classic Quiz.
And this is a New Quiz.
And when you're using Respondus, there is one step
that you have to do when you have a Classic Quiz
that you do not have to do when you are using a New Quiz,
the Classic Quiz requires
that the student open up, LockDown Browser first
and then once they have locked down, browser opened,
then what they will do is they'll navigate back into Canvas.
Back into your Canvas, I'm sorry, into your Canvas shell.
Locate the quiz and then start the quiz.
Remember, it's a browser just like this.
Chrome browser we see right here. Right.
So it's going to open up but it's only going to open up, you know
your quizzes
that you have available for the students to be able to take at that time.
So that is the one step up classic.
If you're using New Quizzes and you basically the student is in the Canvas.
Shell has not started LockDown Browser.
They just click on the start, you know, start the quiz and then LockDown Browser.
What it will do is it will open up and it will go ahead
and go through all the checks that you have assigned
and we all go into that in just a little bit,
but it will go through all the checks that the student needs to go through
and then start the quiz.
The student does not need to open up LockDown Browser first.
Now, why would we,
why would we not just always use New Quizzes?
I've got some really good reasons for using
Classic Quizzes with respondents,
and until it gets fixed, between the conversation between Respondus and Canvas,
if your quizzes use imagery
like images or graphics or anything like that,
or if you have audio files like a lot of our language arts
use audio files during their exams, you are probably going to want to stick
with Classic Quizzes if you currently have Classic Quizzes,
what happens is is for classic
for New Quizzes with Respondus.
It will work the first semester that you build the quiz,
but when you copy over your course to the next semester,
that link to that audio file or that graphic file
is to your previous semester's class, it is not to the current class,
which means you, as the instructor are going to see it and it's going to
you'll be like, is this working?
It works great because you have access to previous semester courses.
Your new students do not have access
to previous semester courses, so it does not work for them.
So if you have a lot of graphics or audio files or anything like that,
then I would recommend you stay with Classic Quizzes.
Now let's say that you've already done the switch, you've jumped in both feet and
you're all into New Quizzes this semester and you're like, “Oh, shiznatz,
I don't know what I'm going to do.
I can't use Respondus.” You can, but it's going to be a bit of work to get it
ready instead of having your files saved to
to the course files right here.
Again, that's this shell's files.
What you're going to do instead
is you're going to take all of those audio files or graphic files.
You will come in to your account, come into your files.
Now is the time to organize.
Once you are in your files,
go ahead and create a folder that is that course's folder.
I recommend.
And then...
I'll just use this as an example.
And then what you're going to do is you're going to move all of your images
or whatever it is into your files, not the course files.
And then after you've done that,
you need to go back into all your quizzes
and then relink these images to your files, not the course files.
Sorry about that.
We we have complained to both Canvas
and Respondus about this, but that is a New Quizzes thing.
So heads up
questions.
So far.
Yeah we're not we're not happy about it either.
The other thing that we have in this new module or this module
that we're, that would be brought over to your course is following structure.
All right.
This the following are for your review.
And these are really help to here to help you
with using Respondus and answering your questions.
Questions with Respondus when it's after hours and you can't.
Yeah. Reach out to us now.
Respondus is a company that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
You can reach out to them, you can create support tickets, among other things.
And they're fairly quick so far.
With getting back to me, whenever I open up a ticket
with ideas or questions.
Is anybody here using
has used Toria in the past with any of your quizzes?
Okay.
So if you've used proctoring in the class, in the past,
there is HTML code that needs to be removed
from your quizzes because proctoring kind of digs in there and hides you don't.
You'll you'll know if you have the code, because let me see
if this page shows that you will get a this is the code.
This is part of the code that you want to use.
You might have instructions in here that separate the code a little bit.
Just heads up.
But what you will get is you will get that big red
in the instructions for the students to take the quiz.
They'll be that big red you.
Hey, this is a proctoring exam.
It takes over the entire, like, almost the entire, frame in quizzes.
You see, if I could pull up a quiz here.
So does that mean
I have to go into every single quiz and do that?
You can just tell us. We'll do it.
We got it down to a system where we can just do it really quickly.
So if you go into the preview,
wherever preview is on New Quizzes,
if you go into the preview right here in the instructions area,
there'll be a big red like, triangle with an exclamation point.
You've seen it before. Yes.
If that is there, then there is code that we need to go in to.
We'll come in to the HTML code here, and we'll grab that code and we'll delete it.
Yes. Laura.
If I replaced, my I only use it for midterm and final.
So if I replace the old the Classic Quiz midterm and final with the New Quiz
midterm and final, and it's a completely new
quiz, the Proctorio from the old midterm will not be there.
Right.
If you built it from scratch, if you just imported it and you said,
hey, take my Classic Quiz and on import, make it a New Quiz, it's there.
Okay, but if you built it from scratch, you went in.
And I think Paco rebuild it for all of us.
And then we're copying it from one class to the other.
But then you were copying the New Quiz that he rebuilt into the new class.
So I just delete Proctor the midterm with Proctor.
You from the lab? Paco did a lot of work.
But if you want us to put second eyes on it
before you offer your midterm and final just to make sure...
Just a quick little email at frc-group@pipeline.sbcc.edu,
and we'll be happy to.
Just, please, do us a favor.
Give us your CRN.
I appreciate it.
But nonetheless, let us know and we'll pop right in there real quick and do it.
We really do have systems down.
I think it is set it up for me.
I was teaching in summer and it worked in summer now and popping into my new well,
I copied my to my classes this semester and to my, the other adjunct instructors.
I copied the same one, so I just removed the old Proctorio
the quiz with Proctorio from that class.
Right? Yeah.
Okay, probably.
But again, if you want us to put second eyes on it, we can do that.
We'll do things like we'll open up all the quizzes at once, a new tabs
and just work the way work through it really fast.
So we can go through like many quizzes in like ten minutes.
It's only midterm and final, so it's only two years.
Easy. That's nothing.
Yeah, well, mine is not because I've got a ton.
That's fine.
So yeah, just let us know which courses they are okay.
And we'll get in there.
We'll make sure that they're all swept clean.
In fact, what I do is I go through it and then I go through it again
just to make sure, because I've missed the code.
Sometimes it's it's a little nagger of a code.
So. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We want to make it as painless as possible for you.
Okay.
All right.
Let's see.
So there are a little bit more instructions here.
I'm not going to go through these.
You all are capable of going in and finding those out.
And if you need us to create any sample quiz specifically for you, we obviously
you can see that we have created sample, quizzes for others in the past.
Actually, I do have one question about,
further down there where all the others, emailing,
an email you can send your students when I open that up.
It's pretty huge.
So, is that something you just like, copy over or do you send the link?
Is there a link?
Oh, yeah. No, you highlight it. Copy it.
Okay. And paste it.
Okay. Yeah. Oops. Maybe not everything, but.
Yeah. Yeah.
This is actually, I can't take credit, Karen, this was Carrie's right?
I'm pretty sure this is Carrie's email.
This was actually an email of one of our instructors who was, like,
getting out there early with it and trying out and figuring out
where the where students were having problems.
Right?
And so she designed this email so that she could figure out, like, where
students were having problems and oops, oops, we're going to have to fix that.
Like, it's no longer pipeline.
But nonetheless, she figured out where students were having problems,
and so she tried to get information as much together all in one spot.
And then she emails this to her students, and she's so far since this,
that first semester
that she's been working with them, it's been going much more smoothly.
So. Right.
This is one instructor's email.
Yeah.
Keep the questions. Come in. This is great.
Yeah.
All right, so once you have, you kind of got
the framework, you know, it's a LockDown Browser, among other things.
Now, setting up the LockDown Browser,
and screen capture are really easy to do.
Somewhere in your left hand navigation course, navigation bar,
you have, something that's called LockDown Browser,
and this is a one stop shopping convenience.
Oh, good.
If you have a lot of quizzes, Barry, you got a lot.
This might take a minute to literally minutes to load.
Yeah.
So I, I actually went through all these and did all the settings for all of them.
That's why I thought everything was working.
Yeah. And myself.
So I went through all the ones that required,
the Respondus Monitor and everything and I,
the settings, and I did the advanced settings for a calculator.
All that kind of stuff.
So I thought I was, like, ready to go, and.
Yeah, until everything blew up in my face.
Well, you know,
it's like one semester.
I'll do that.
Once you get past this semester, it'll start just going smoothly again.
Well, it was weird because I used it last semester or summer rather.
Excuse me. And everything was fine.
But I think what happened was, was that I copied stuff over
from my last fall stuff.
And so it had all that factorial stuff in it, which I didn't realize.
I thought I was just using the same basic stuff because I went in to this
and did all this stuff,
and that's why I didn't realize that there was all this other stuff.
So yeah, well, like I said, you only get to go.
You only get to go through this experience once.
So congratulations.
You're like three quarters the way through it. I hope.
So yeah, this is a one stop shop convenience.
There are, little bits of information getting started, video
tutorials, guides and supports and other systems.
And we we don't use the other systems.
There are more tips up here and there.
Live support chat is available 24 seven for students to learn.
Like they are really a company that is trying to be proactive
as much as they can about offering support.
And so, you know, and a lot of students don't read, right.
And so you might have to be like, okay, just just read the damn page.
It says right here, it's not working.
Click the it's not working.
And you know, you know I know you're taking your you're getting ready
to do this at 2 a.m., but there is help for you.
It's not me at 2 a.m., but there is somebody right.
So you might have to do a little bit of, educating students.
But again, once you get past
that hurdle, they're really good donuts that we do have two columns here.
We have LockDown Browser and then we have proctoring again.
LockDown Browser is always were always required if you want our proctoring.
Proctoring again is that camera that shoots me or photographs me.
Now to use Respondus.
The to the left of any quiz that you want to use Respondus on.
You've got a downward facing chevron.
You can click on that and a little menu slides out.
If you're just setting them up and you don't have students
that have taken the exam, you are not going to see class results
will have to come back to that in a minute.
Right now we're going to talk about setting it up, setting up the exam.
So we are going to go into settings, which is going to slide down
this little window.
In this
window we can see here actually you know what
I am going to go down to one that is not here we go.
Q Q exam example two I don't want to mess with,
something that's already been created for y'all.
So you can see here that this one has no, attempts at it.
I don't have that view results.
We're going to go into settings and it's going to be nice and short like this.
Don't require LockDown Browser for this exam.
Very simple.
Of course if you're going to then you want to require it.
If you want to add a passcode you can do that.
And do note that there are advanced settings
in both the LockDown Browser and the proctoring.
So go ahead and click on that.
Plus, if you've used LockDown Browser in the past
and you are used to going to the iPad here to enable
iPad usage that has now moved, it is further down the page.
You will get to it.
But do you know that that has been moved?
And then you just kind of work through your list
on how it is that you want to set up your exams.
You want to require locked down.
Do you want to require LockDown Browser to view post exam feedback and results.
So after the exam is over, do you want students to see
their use LockDown Browser to see the results?
Remember, it's going to stop them from being able to do screencap features,
right?
So if you're worried that students are grabbing all the quiz questions,
highlight them all, and then copy and paste them over
to something else, this would be a reason or a way to solve that.
It does not stop them from taking
photographs of the answer is going into optical screen.
Our optical capture recognition OCR and then and then being able to do that.
But those are steps, right?
Those are more steps to do.
And most students just don't want to do that.
Many more steps.
Not saying all of them, but most of them don't.
So this would be one reason why you would want to use that LockDown
Browser to view the feedback after the exam is done again,
it's it locks down their browser,
lock
students, into the browser until the exam is complete.
Well, those students are pretty close
to already locked in, but if you want to understand
why you would want to use any of these, you can just hover over the explain button
to the right of any of these choices and it will go into more information.
This one is more recommended if you happen to be in a I.
If I come over here, it goes away.
But you'll see that it talks about enable a proctor to close the browser.
It's more of a proctoring situation, although there is also
more proctoring down there.
So it's worth if you're not sure what it is.
It's definitely worth your time to go in there.
As I was saying before, if you want to
allow access to specific websites, for example,
we have, earth sciences instructor who needs students to go
to a specific web page that has the moon,
new moons
and, and full moons and all that information based on the year
per the semester and so it's easier to send that the students to that web
page for it, because they're
working on current information to answer the answer the questions.
I don't know how she does all of that, but she does.
She she puts in that web page, including the URL right here.
Notice that they do not put in the Http or Https.
They just put in the website dot com or net or however that goes.
And then of course you can enable a calculator on the toolbar
and printing if you want, available for the students.
Any questions so far?
Yes, Laura.
The question about in in languages students need to be able to do accents.
And sometimes they, they cannot do it.
I had a couple of students that were not able to do accents like accent marks.
Accent marks.
Yes. On that.
When they're typing it out, when they're doing it with web, respondents.
So I don't know if there is anywhere I don't know into that.
Karen, the keyboard gets locked down and I, I haven't, but I have heard that
some people are allowing,
like a page with different accents marks,
and they were copying and pasting it when needed.
Can we do that? Can we have a page?
You can make a Google Docs page, use
that share icon and then paste that in here.
And we could test it beforehand because I've not tried that.
And they can copy and paste from there.
Okay.
But yeah, it's been a while since I've seen
and I don't recall who was using it.
I just use the page with the actual letter with the accent mark,
not the the sequence to get like the control,
but how to get to the accent is right, the e with the e with an accent on it.
It's the actual EU, the accent, which whichever way.
So they just copy and paste from there. Right.
That's. Yeah, that's this one. Instructor was doing that.
Okay. Thank you.
Thanks for asking.
I did not know that was a thing.
So it happened in summer.
One of my student was not able to do the accents.
You know, French got, which is quite important.
Yeah.
So this is LockDown Browser.
This whole section right here is LockDown Browser.
Now, if you do want you do
use the video camera to, watch your students as they take the exam.
Of course, all you have to do is click on that.
You will get this information that shows up here.
If you've set up enough of these, like very.
You probably read this 50 times.
You can always click this.
Don't show this message again and then continue to Monitor.
I'm not going to click it because I need to make sure I tell people about this.
But do you know that you know, basically it gives you some more information
about what it is to use the Respondus Monitor.
And then to get out of it you click the blue continue button.
The big one.
All right.
So from here they change this up a little bit.
They didn't have these buttons earlier in the summer.
But sometime during the summer they added these buttons.
But you get to choose whether you want webcam only or again
that webcam and screen capture at the same time.
I make no judgments.
I just can tell you that this one,
the webcam with the screen does cost more on bandwidth.
So your students are going to want a better connection to the internet.
With that said, with the webcam, you're going to have to.
It's not just locking down the browser, right.
It will do a webcam check first.
So if you click on preview and the student basically they've had to click the exam,
the LockDown Browser came up or they start LockDown Browser
and they and then started taking the exam.
If you click the webcam, this is the first thing they're going to
see when they're going in to take the exam is
and they want to know, do you see an image in the window.
And then they can go ahead and click on yes.
And then they want you to record a five second video.
So here I am recording a five second video doing my thing.
And it does the countdown.
And if I want what it will do is it will let me play back the video
and if I want to do it, replay the video again, I can.
This is true for students.
This is the webcam check.
We can also see that right here.
All of these are checked off right over here.
And that matches with this additional information
guidelines student show environment and face.
They all go lockstep down here.
Again we can see that you get to choose if you want
to add additional instructions at again you can click on this preview.
If you don't like this text, you can come in
and change this text not from this window.
But what you can do is come here, say edit text,
and then you can come in and highlight change this text as needed.
So the best works for your exam.
If you want to restore that does not default, you sure can.
And then you can save and close questions.
So far
clear as mud.
Excellent guidelines and tips.
Is here we go.
We'll just this open now the guidelines and tips.
Good ideas of what to do.
To, you know, have a better exam experience, get into a quiet environment
if you can.
Don't don't settle the computer laptop on your knees and,
so it's not wobbling around, you know, don't wear sunglasses.
Make sure that you're well lit, among other things.
Then,
if you want your students to, and for these guidelines and tips for
myself, if I was using Respondus, I don't use Respondus in my own classes.
But if I did, I would use the guidelines and temps for maybe my first three exams.
And then after that, I figured, you know what?
They they probably got it and just move on, right?
If they haven't gotten it by now, 3 or 4 exams at most, I would be like,
you know what? You figure it out, right?
Student ID if you need to have a student ID,
they're going to have to let them know before they start
the exam that they need to have a student ID because they don't need to.
Like, I panic, where's my ID? Right.
But what it will do is it will ask for a student IDs.
So they go in, you can see the preview.
They can see, you know, you got your face going on right here.
You've already you can take a picture, right.
And then you can hold up your ID like you're supposed to do
and then take that picture, try again.
And that is what, is supposed to be recorded.
So you got the picture of them from the beginning,
and then you got this ID so that you can match the two.
I know that this is done
a lot in the nursing program because they are preparing their nurses
or future nurses to take the type of exam that is required by the state.
They do have to show their ID by the state.
You know, one of the reasons that I uncheck photo and ID is that
I don't want them in any way, shape or form having their iPhone around.
Well, I don't have my credit card.
I know I was licensed,
and I have students that will say I don't have my student ID,
and they start asking me about like, can I use a license?
Can I?
I mean, all this kind of stuff.
So yeah, I, I was using it for a while and then it became kind of a pain.
So it's something that you might want to, or each person
might want to think about whether or not it's really worth it or not.
Absolutely.
Thank you.
That's your ID.
And then the environmental check.
What that does is I know a lot of our students are on laptops or iPads.
By the way, respondents also does work with Chromebooks.
There is an extension
that they would need to download with Chrome in order to use it.
I forgot to mention that.
But I'm on a mac.
I'm on a big desktop mac, and so for me to do an environmental check,
I can go to that much.
And I can go this much.
Yeah.
That's usually I, it just tip it down to see their desktop if I can.
If they can.
That's it.
Oh, my.
Mac, there's a I got a lot of stuff here that I'm working around in general,
but yeah, just just know that there may be limits, with environmental checks,
if anything, if students, as they're going through this, they're having trouble.
If their environmental check is not working, then they can click on this.
It's not working.
And that will take them to respond. Us right.
Again, Respondus tries to be as proactive as I can to be helpful.
And then of course, face detection.
We you know, we've definitely had students in the past
who have put on their hoodies and their glasses and their ball caps
and backlit windows, among other thing.
So what that will do is, the face detection
just let students know, again, this is something that you don't get to choose.
This is something that is required when they use this, monitoring system.
So it'll say like, hey, I need to see your face.
But it had I like, really shadowed my face in some way or I had my,
my camera, like, covering it up or something like that.
It would just basically like, yeah, it's not working.
You need to I need to see your face. Right.
You do have these two boxes down here for, face detection options
prevent students from starting the exam.
It's a face cannot be clearly seen in the video.
So that is up to you whether you want to, like if you if you if Respondus
can't identify a face, then they needs then they need to do something right.
They need to put more light on their face. I need to do whatever it is.
And the exam won't start until Respondus can identify a face.
That does not mean
that they can't put the hoodie back on and the ball cap and all that.
After they get identified, but they will get notified during.
If you have this checked, they will get notified during the exam
that the face to not be clearly seen in the video,
as far as I understand, and maybe this explanation says it,
it does not stop the exam, it just gives them a notice.
Yeah, I've had actually a bunch of students say that to me
and when I've gone in and looked at screen recordings, you can just see it,
where it shows up.
Yeah, yeah.
And that and respond. It does tag that.
It does show, you know, those little bits and pieces right there.
The van settings again, if you want to allow the iPad, you
you can definitely allow the iPad.
The student will need to go to the Apple Store, download the Respondus app,
install it on their computer, one of the things that we get,
most often is it will, you know, at the beginning, Barry,
we were having the exams and it said, like, download this app.
What is not clear with the
iPad page that shows you is there's a rocket right
above that message and it says something like, click to start the exam.
But it's not, and not least not for me, very large text.
Instead it just says you need to download the app.
And then this gives me a hyperlink.
And so I when I was trying it with the iPad, it took me well,
it actually took somebody telling me like that rocket ship
and that text below it that says this is a, you know, click to start the event.
Like I missed it completely.
Talk about people that don't read. I'm one of them. Right.
And I was trying over and over and over again
and I could not get it to just like I somehow I accidentally clicked it once.
I'm like, oh, it worked. And then it wouldn't work.
And I finally somebody like, that's a button.
It is not obvious that it is a button.
So I want if you're allowing iPad use and I do have a picture of it
and I can email it to anybody so you can pass it on to your students.
But that is it is truly.
But that rocket is a button.
All right.
And then if you have Proctor, even if your, exam needs to be delivered
into a proctoring setting, then you can click on this,
you will get additional information right there.
The proctoring settings will also, you can use that
password that you can give to the Proctor and service
so that the exam can be started by the proctoring service.
If you want to do show you work in this happens
a lot with, you know, students who are in math classes
and they're allowed to write, you know, figure out equations on a piece of paper.
Why the take the exam?
The instructor sometimes will say, like, I want to see your work.
And so at the end of the exam, if they have this, enabled,
what they will do is they can take they can hold it up and they can take
20 different photographs of work,
and then that will be included in the Respondus recording.
So that way, if the instructor needs to go back
and be like, well, how did you get that answer?
And then they, you know, you can look at the equation and go like,
okay, this is where you went off track, right?
So that is available if you want to show your work.
Enter due to enter a demo student
username for use by the instructor.
Do you know what that is, Karen I don't know.
I mean, I can read it, but,
I was told by one of my colleagues that,
a lot of times students want to be anonymous,
and so they give them names
or, you know, some designation in a class.
I don't know why I want to do that, but this instructor actually does that.
And so that's what he said was
that was kind of all about cool.
I had to dig into that one more.
I don't I don't remember seeing that one before, but again, I don't read. So.
Once you've got it all set up, how you want it, let me see.
This is the CQ exam.
I'm going to go back and fix that later.
All you have to do is click on Save and Close.
It will take, you know, a little period of time for it to save.
Just let it cook.
It's doing a lot in the back end, including renaming your file.
As I said previously,
Oh my goodness.
Any questions?
While this is thinking,
yeah, one of the things that I noticed when you do that is it
always goes down to the very bottom.
So you have to go back up to get your stuff.
Yeah. Thank you.
I was waiting for it to cook and I was down there at the bottom. Yes.
Thank you.
So we can see here this is the one that I had just worked on.
I have I am requiring the LockDown Browser and I am requiring Respondus Monitor.
We can see here that I don't see I now have the ability to see a class for me.
Right. Yeah.
So what?
And I'm not sure if we have any class results from anyone in any of these.
I meant to look, but what we can see is what you will get.
Edgar here.
We're just going to use Edgar very quickly.
This moved our long term storage.
Well, what you will get is you will get a heat signature right here.
It will say very clearly low.
And it will also, if it's a high probability or Respondus,
you know, captured things that they are suspicious of.
The heat signature will go from green to blue
to yellow to orange to red, and it will work its way across this bar.
The higher probability of somebody cheating in general.
So what you can have here is with this access bar,
you will also get all these little tiny thumbnails.
You'll get one big video.
Let me see if we have one other one.
Just really quickly.
Oh dang it.
Sorry.
Try class results.
Nope. Okay.
What you will get is you will get one big video right here.
And then depending on if you're, look
at which will be either the video of your student.
If you do a screen capture, there'll be a smaller video over here.
All you have to do is click on the smaller video,
and it will toggle between the big video and the screen capture.
So it'll toggle between the two monitors.
And if there is like a high probability of people cheating
or a person cheating, I should say, then what you will have is,
not only will you have your big video,
but you will have a whole bunch of little thumbnail videos right here
that you'll be able to click on, and it will, automatically
go to that portion of the video
and let you look at it while you,
while, and see if it was truly somebody, you know,
looking at something else or possibly, you know, did they just sneeze and,
you know, have to wipe their nose or something like that,
but you can make that determination.
I have seen enough proctoring of classes
that and I've clearly seen people and this was mostly in Proctorio
I haven't seen it as much in Respondus
where they are looking off to the side and the color of light on their face
is changing.
They're clearly looking something up on the internet or,
you know, on the internet, on a computer, on the side
and of course, Proctorio I did a great job.
It heat signature to it.
Like, yes, this is this is a problem.
But the instructor never knew it was a problem because the instructor
never came back to check class results.
Oh. Are you.
Oh, I think you're like one of them. Oh no no no.
Sorry. Well,
so one of my students walked by.
Sorry.
Laura, did you have a question?
No. Just say I had a student once that, took
the entire exam by looking at the phone,
and he was wearing glasses so I could see everything he did through.
You know, the reflection.
Yeah.
You're like, dude, come on now.
Let's just learn this stuff, shall we?
It's just so much easier.
But this is the important bit.
If you're going to have a a proctored or a Respondus or use
any of these tools, proctoring or any of the tools,
you do need to come back that is part of your responsibility as the instructor.
If you're going to require that of your students and you're requiring it
of yourself to come back, and just a very pleased
look at heat signatures
and then maybe have that conversation with the student guy like, you know,
maybe next time you cheat, you wear, I don't know, contacts.
But nonetheless,
any questions on any of this?
So what if we allow, notes or open books?
Then the student are looking at something.
So there will be flags all the time.
Yeah, they will be flagged all the time.
And that's. That is just the way that it goes.
I mean,
what are you keeping them from looking at
if they if you are allowing notes and open book
something and it's,
you know, answers
or they can have the because in languages that have to create sentences
that they can have some rules or charts
with the conjugated verbs, but they have to create their own sentences
so they can have some notes, but not complete.
So they're just going to be I mean, that's what the software is meant to
do, is flag that those instances while you're allowing it,
you're just going to have a high flag rate,
which means that when you go look at the videos later,
you're going to have to be like, wait a minute, I did not take phones,
right?
And I have a I have another question.
So once we set it up and then we roll over the class to the next semester,
do we need to set it up again or does it it should stay set up.
It should stay if it the exams are the same.
So if so, even if because I'm the program coordinator.
So I'm rolling under classes for the adjunct instructors.
So if I roll over my class to an adjunct instructor then
the settings will work for this new instructor.
Yes. In I have not seen it.
Not do I have not seen them?
Not work. They've stayed.
What I have seen is sometimes on a class roll over
they will get like a convoluted, password on occasion.
Like all of a sudden it just decides everybody needs to have a password.
And so, I it the summer, I think it was
the summer that we had a whole bunch of, instructors say.
My students say they need a password, but they're,
you know, they're new to responding.
And I look in their Respondus, I can see,
you know, usually when I make a password, it's like tacos
or something like that to make sure there is no password in there. If
you can see if it rolled over and it inserted a password.
But so far as everything's been rolling over just fine.
Okay. Thank you. No
