If you use Canvas™, you can prevent cheating by using Respondus® LockDown Browser® or Respondus Monitor®. Create a Canvas quiz that requires Respondus and use it to link to WebAssign. Your students will continue to be monitored by Respondus while they complete their exam in WebAssign.
Starting in spring 2021, many schools use a new method to integrate WebAssign with their LMS. These steps apply to all WebAssign courses regardless of when you integrated your course.
- access to any other application
- printing and screen capture functions
- copying and pasting
The following steps are a separate process from scheduling a LockDown Browser restricted assignment in WebAssign.
Students should download Respondus LockDown Browser ahead of time, or they will be prompted to do so when they open their assignment.
You must first create a password protected exam in WebAssign, and add a link to your exam in Canvas. In order for students to access the exam through the proctoring service, both the link and the module you add it to must be published. However, students should not access the exam directly through this link. To avoid confusion, consider creating a new module titled "Do not access." Let your students know that you will be notified if they attempt to access the exam through the "Do not access" module.
Open your Canvas quiz in student view to test the experience and make sure you can access your WebAssign exam.
Publish your Canvas quiz to make it available to students.
