Enabling Monitor for an Exam

Please download and refer to this document when enabling LDB +Monitor for students to take exams at home OR in a proctored location!

>>Enabling RLDB and Monitor for At-Home OR Proctored Setting Exams<<

LockDown Browser must be enabled in order to enable Monitor for an exam. You don't have to provide a password if you're using LDB +Monitor, as students must complete the Monitor start-up sequence, and once completed, students are locked in to beginning the exam. If some students will take exams in a proctored setting, and others will take exams from home using LDB +Monitor, you can configure the exam settings to allow for both situations. You MUST enable a password if students have the option to go to a proctored location or take the proctored exam from home.

This tutorial shows how to enable LockDown Browser and Monitor for an exam.

NOTE: If you entered a password for your exam, do not modify/remove the password from the password field found in the exam settings. The password must be modified/removed from the LockDown Browser settings page.
