Mcs Schoology Lockdown Browser Download Help Center mcs schoology lockdown browser download Help Center. The Respondus LockDown Browser (LDB) is a custom browser that instructors can use to lock down their testing environment in Schoology. The app enables instructors to require that students use the LDB when taking tests and quizzes in a Schoology course. The Respondus LockDown Browser opens the test in full-screen mode and prevents students from navigating away from the assessment or accessing other applications, such as the Internet or their notes, while the test is in progress. The browser also prevents copy and paste, right- clicking, screen capture, messaging, or printing. Requiring the LockDown Browser on tests/quizzes does not affect any of the functionality that is available to instructors on Schoology - all Schoology test/quiz settings remain available, and the workflow for grading student submissions remains the same whether or not the LDB is required. If your school or organization currently has a license for the Respondus LockDown Browser, your System Admin can install the Respondus app to your Schoology Enterprise account. If your school or organization currently has a license for the Respondus LockDown Browser and/or monitor, visit the Respondus Help Center to check out their Quick Start Guide for Instructors and Students. Using the Respondus LockDown Browser in Your Schoology Course. Instructors can require the LockDown Browser for a Test/Quiz, Course Assessment, or Managed Assessment (AMP). This article includes the following information: How to Create an Exam that Requires Respondus LockDown Browser. To create a Test/Quiz or Assessment that requires LDB, first create the Test/Quiz or Assessment by using the Add Materials drop-down menu within your Course. Next, require the Respondus LockDown Browser for the Test/Quiz or Assessment from the LockDown Browser Dashboard: Click the Respondus app on the left side of your Schoology course to open your Respondus LockDown Browser Dashboard. Click the drop- down menu to the left of the item title and select Settings . Select Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam . LockDown Browser Settings. Click + Advanced Settings to view and configure additional settings for the LockDown Browser for the Test/Quiz or Assessment: Lock students into browser until exam is completed : Select this option to prevent students from exiting LockDown Browser before an exam is submitted for grading. Optionally, a password can be entered to enable a proctor to close the browser during an exam. When this option is not selected, a student is able to exit the browser if their Internet connection fails or if there is an emergency. They will be warned twice before being able to close the browser. The student will also be prompted to enter a reason for exiting the exam early. The student response will be available to the instructor from the Respondus LockDown Browser Dashboard. Allow students to take this exam with an iPad (using the LockDown Browser app from iTunes): In order to successfully utilize this option, the following requirements must be met: Student devices use iOS 10 or above Student devices have the the latest version of the Schoology iOS app Student devices have the latest version of the Respondus LockDown Browser app. Monitor Webcam Settings. If your school has a Respondus Monitor license and additionally would like to enable and configure the Monitor feature for this Test/Quiz or Assessment, select Require Respondus Monitor for this exam. Drag and drop these items to reorder the sequence in which they occur before the webcam session begins. Click Edit Text to customize the instructional text that accompanies certain steps in the startup sequence. Alternatively, select the third option under Monitor WebCam Settings: Either Respondus Monitor or a proctored lab can be used to take this exam . By selecting this optional setting below and entering an exam password, the instructor has the ability to let students take the test using only LDB by entering a password, and then the students with the password won’t be recorded with a webcam. This setting is normally used to give students the option of taking the test at home with a webcam or coming into a proctored lab without webcam. This optional password feature can also be used in an emergency to allow students in a panic who can’t get their webcam working to bypass using the webcam and just take their exam with the LockDown Browser. How to Enable Submissions. Once you have selected the desired Respondus settings for the exam, click Save and Close . After you've done so, you can return to your Course Materials page and make the Test/Quiz or Assessment available to your students by enabling submissions. Assessments: Submission settings are configured in Edit from the gear icon next to the item name from the Materials page view, or from Edit from Actions within the specific Assessment view. Test/Quiz: Submission settings are configured from Settings within the specific Text/Quiz view. Taking A Schoology Test Using the LockDown Browser. Overview of the Student Experience. Students taking a Schoology test using the Respondus LockDown Browser log into Schoology and access the test/quiz or assessment from their Schoology Course Materials page. Once a student opens the test in Schoology, they are prompted to launch the Respondus LockDown browser to take and submit the test. LockDown Browser is similar to a standard web browser, but with several features disabled or removed - such as browser menus and the URL field. Only the back, forward, stop, and refresh buttons are retained. The content and design of the test/quiz or assessment will look very similar to the way in looks if the students were to take it in Schoology - only the tools and capabilities available to them in standard browsers are significantly limited. Beginning the Exam. Once the instructor has required the Respondus LockDown browser for a test/quiz or assessment in Schoology, students will need to download the browser to their device before they are able to begin the test. Test/Quizzes that require the LockDown browser include a message that reads, “This assessment requires LockDown Browser and will launch in a new window." Students can click the link on the exam’s Instructions page that says Download LockDown Browser to download the browser if they have not done so. This link uses the download URL the System Admin configured in the Custom Parameters of the app at the system-level. Assessments that require the LockDown browser include a message that reads, “This assessment requires LockDown Browser and will launch in a new window." Once the student has downloaded and installed the LockDown Browser, he or she can click Start New Attempt . This launches the test in a new window using the LockDown Browser. Mcs schoology lockdown browser download. At institutions that license LockDown Browser, instructors will find these same training resources within the application itself. Simply navigate to the LockDown Browser dashboard within your LMS to view demonstration videos, Quick Start Guides and other resources specific to your LMS. What You Need to Know. LockDown Browser is a custom browser that integrates with learning systems to prevent copying, printing, accessing other applications, and visiting other websites during online tests. Preparing your exam: Turn on the LockDown Browser setting. To enable LockDown Browser for an exam, you need to turn on a setting in the LockDown Browser dashboard within your learning system. The Instructor Quick Start Guide will explain the process, which differs for each learning system. Select your learning system to view the Instructor Quick Start Guide: Installing the application. LockDown Browser is a custom browser that's installed to each computer or device used by students to take an exam. Your LockDown Browser license administrator has access to the download links and instructions for Windows, Mac, iPad, and managed Chromebook devices. If students will be installing LockDown Browser to their own Windows or Mac computers, be sure they use your institution's unique installation for this purpose (a URL can be obtained from your license administrator, or depending on how the integration was set up, a download link may be available from a LockDown Browser-enabled quiz). The LockDown Browser app for iPad is available for free from the App Store, but the instructor setting for iPads must be enabled for each exam. Personal Chromebook devices are not supported; LockDown Browser is only available for managed Chromebooks. Why a practice quiz is important. To ensure your first exam using LockDown Browser runs smoothly, have students take an ungraded practice quiz that requires the use of LockDown Browser . This reduces stress for students and ensures everything is worked out before the first graded exam. Tip: Leave the practice quiz available for the duration of the course, with unlimited attempts, so students can access it later if using a different device. Watch a Training Video. This brief training video (less than 7 minutes) prepares you to offer online tests with LockDown Browser. It illustrates the instructor settings for LockDown Browser, as well as the student experience of taking a test. Mcs schoology lockdown browser download. The iPad Edition of "LockDown Browser" available from the Apple App Store enables a student to use an iPad to take exams that require LockDown Browser. However, your instructor must first select a setting that permits the use of iPads for the exam and your school's learning management system must be compatible. The LockDown Browser iPad app is not compatible with Sakai LMS servers. All Sakai users will need to use a computer with a compatible operating system. More details can be seen here. A student should follow these steps to take an exam with the iPad Edition of LockDown Browser.

  • A Review of Distance Learning and Learning Management Systems
    Chapter 1 A Review of Distance Learning and Learning Management Systems Mümine Kaya Keleş and Selma Ayşe Özel Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/65222 Abstract In recent years, rapid developments in technology and the web have led to many changes in education. One of the most important changes in education is in the form of distance learning. Distance learning, which is used to define education where educators and learners are physically separated, is not a new concept; however, emerging technologies and the web allow web‐based distance learning and therefore increase its popularity. As a result of these developments, many universities have started to use web‐based distance learning systems to provide flexible education that is independent of time and place. In this chapter, we review all popular, widely used, and well‐known learning management systems and include detailed comparison of some of these systems to allow institutions to choose the right system for their distance education activities. Keywords: distance learning, literature review, educational research, learning manage- ment systems, Moodle 1. Introduction Distance education, which is now also referred to as distance learning or e‐learning, has existed for centuries. Although as Keegan says “the ideas surrounding the educational endeavor are somewhat similar” [1], it is not easy to find a single definition of distance education. While according to North [2], a few definitions even look to define it in terms of a single technology, according to long‐distance teaching [3], others display distance education simply as a recent development of the class into a remote location [4].
