Respondus Quiz Considerations

Advance preparation and testing will help students demonstrate what they have learned without distractions and unnecessary anxiety. If Respondus Monitor is required for students during your exams/evaluations – for completing the assessment activity and/or for remote proctoring purposes – these strategies are strongly recommended:

• Ensure that all students have the necessary technology and that it works properly for them in their remote learning environment.
• Conduct a trial run with Respondus Monitor. Do this enough in advance so that any technical glitches or gaps in students’ remote-working environment can be addressed. A student guide on using Respondus Monitor is here: https://mylo.utas.edu.au/d2l/le/content/6607/viewContent/4835390/View
• The trial run of the Quiz should contain all of the question types on the actual exam. This not only allows students to test the functionality of their technology but affords an opportunity for meaningful review of content.
• If students use any assistive technology, make sure it works with the designated technology. If you have questions about compatibility of technology with assistive devices, please reach out to the Accessibility Services
• Consider allowing soft deadlines. If your Quiz may be sensitive to student connectivity issues or time required for students to download/scan/upload, provide some extra time (above and beyond your exam-completion time) for these logistics.
• Provide a communication channel for students to contact you if technical issues arise during the exam session. For example have a Zoom session running, or provide a phone number for the students to call during the exam time. This will allow your support team to assist with Technical issues, as well as give the student extra time within the quiz for time lost.
