Teaching Tip Tuesday – Respondus

For the past several years, UWSP has used HonorLock software for online test proctoring. This year, we’ve switched to Respondus.
Instructors in any course can use Respondus tools to secure quizzes and exams given in Canvas. In this video, we introduce you to this tool, focusing on three key ideas: what the Respondus tools actually do, how they are useful in different teaching contexts, and what instructors need to do to use them effectively.
