Information for Instructors

The average time for an exam video to be processed and available to an instructor is 12 hours. The time can be greater during periods of high volume, and may take up to 48 hours if the video has processing issues. During periods of low volume, the time to process the video is roughly equal to the actual length of the video.听Note: In the past, proctoring results were available 12 hours after the submission of an exam. With the new system, proctoring results will be available in under 30 minutes for most sessions.

When a student begins the Respondus Monitor pre-exam webcam check, it is recorded as an attempt in the LockDown Browser Dashboard. It is important to keep in mind that these "attempts" indicate the student entering the pre-exam webcam check and are not the same as exam attempts as defined by Western Online. As a result, it is possible to see several attempts in the LockDown Browser Dashboard video review area even when the exam settings only allow one attempt or the grade book shows fewer completed exam attempts. During the pre-exam webcam check, the student can "back out" or quit the attempt before starting the exam. The exam will not start until the student selects "Begin Exam" at the very last step of the Respondus Monitor pre-exam webcam check.

Upcoming Features and Enhancements

One of Respondus' key goals for feature enhancements is to make them seamless for existing users. So, while the user experience will be largely the same for Respondus Monitor, instructors will notice an introduction of new features and the refinement of existing ones. 听

  • Screen recording 鈥� Respondus Monitor runs atop LockDown Browser, which prevents students from accessing unapproved resources. However, there are times when screen recording is wanted by an instructor. The screen recording setting is controlled by instructors on a per exam basis. 听
  • Respondus Vision 鈥� Respondus Monitor has a new computer vision engine that improves the accuracy of exam flagging, resulting in a large reduction of 鈥渇alse positive鈥� flags. Instructors may also notice more robust detection of 鈥渕ultiple faces,鈥� such as when exams are administered in public places. Overall, the flagging will feel more precise and have less noise. 听
  • Tilt Camera Down 鈥� Respondus Monitor will provide students specific instructions when the camera angle requires downward adjustment. This will reduce the repeated reminders when students sit upright momentarily to respond to a face detection warning, only to be prompted again when they slouch back into their seat.听
  • Fewer Video Interruptions 鈥� A new method of video recording will reduce the number of 鈥渧ideo interruption鈥� warnings in the proctoring results. This is accomplished by storing segments of videos locally if the student鈥檚 upload connection is interrupted for a short time, and then uploading those portions of the video when the connection is restored.
  • Higher Video Quality 鈥� The video recordings will appear sharper during playback, especially when older webcams and slower networks are used by students.听
  • Faster Proctoring Results 鈥� In the past, proctoring results were available 2-8 hours after the submission of an exam. With the new system, proctoring results will be available in under 30 minutes for most sessions.听
  • Faster Pre-exam Steps 鈥� Students will notice the pre-exam steps for Respondus Monitor (webcam check, recording the environment video, etc.) are faster than before. 听
  • Sensitivity Levels 鈥� Instructors will be able to choose a sensitivity level for the flagging system.听 This selection occurs on the proctoring results page and will recalculate the Review Priority score and ranking.听
  • Algorithm Fairness 鈥� Respondus Monitor has been periodically tested to ensure that age, gender and skin tone don鈥檛 impact proctoring results for students (see . This process now occurs every time code is modified, ensuring that Respondus Monitor remains fair and equitable to all users.
  • Show your Work -听this feature allows students to upload hi-resolution images or worksheets they have prepared during their exam. This setting must be enabled by the instructor. If enabled, students will be given the opportunity to upload photos of their work immediately after they submit their exam. This feature is only available if Respondus Monitor has been selected as the proctoring option for an exam.
