When you review exams, you will see proctoring results ranked according to the risk that exam violations have occurred, providing meaningful results that help you know whether an exam session warrants deeper scrutiny. Finally, the student's interaction with the exam instrument itself is woven into the analysis, including question-by-question comparisons with other students who took the same exam. The system also uses data from the computing device (keyboard activity, mouse movements, hardware changes, etc.) to identify patterns and anomalies associated with cheating. When exams have ‘Require Respondus Monitor for this exam’ enabled, the recorded sessions are machine-analyzed for facial detection, motion, and lighting to analyze the student and examination environment. A "startup sequence" guides them through the requirements you have selected, such as showing identification or making a short video of the exam environment.
Depending on the settings you select, students may be required to use a webcam to record themselves during an exam. They then authenticate, navigate to their course and to the exam as normal, and begin. When students launch Respondus LockDown Browser to take an exam, they are presented with the UNM Learn login page. For a quick comparison of the two, see About Virtual Proctoring Tools. Note: there are currently multiple virtual proctoring tools being offered for use in UNM Learn. Monitor is a video monitoring tool which uses the student’s webcam and microphone to record their actions and environment during an exam, test or quiz. LockDown Browser is a custom browser that students install on their own computers that locks down the testing environment within UNM Learn (see compatibility details below).
