Monitor: Protecting the Integrity of Online Exams

Monitor works with LockDown Browser to secure exams and verify the identity of test takers for exams taken outside of a formal proctored environment. Check out this overview video of LDB +Monitor!

How Monitor Works

Builds upon LockDown Browser

LockDown Browser is the "gold standard" for locking down a student's computer during an online exam. Monitor builds upon the LockDown Browser technology to ensure the computing device isn't used to cheat during a non-proctored exam.

Integrates Seamlessly with Canvas

Monitor integrates seamlessly with Canvas. Students access exams within Canvas as they normally would. Instructors do everything within Canvas too, including the post-exam review of proctoring results.

"Auto-Launches" from any Browser

After a quick one-time installation, Monitor will auto-launch from the student's browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE) whenever the exam settings require it. Students are then guided through a pre-exam sequence, including a webcam check, and optional Student ID check and recording of the test-taking environment.

No Scheduling or Registration

Exams can be taken with LDB +Monitor without advanced scheduling and without additional registration by the student.
