What’s Better for Instructors?
- All-in-One Access: Manage proctoring settings, view exam recordings, and review flagged events — all within your Hawkes Teach account.
- Save Time: Spend less time managing tech, and more time focused on teaching.
- Customization: Customize startup sequences (like ID verification and environment scans), adjust face detection settings, and decide whether to allow webcam overrides with a password.
- Comprehensive Monitoring: Access priority flags, screenshots, and time-stamped video footage of test sessions, or review the entire exam attempt via the student’s webcam in the Proctoring Dashboard.
- Domain Whitelisting: Easily enable access to approved external resources (e.g., web-based calculators, related YouTube videos, case studies) during LockDown Browser tests using a new WebTest setting.
What’s Better for Students?
- Easy Launch: Students can start Respondus Monitor directly from their Hawkes WebTest.
- Minimal Setup: All they need is their webcam and an updated version of LockDown Browser®.
- Focus on the Test: With fewer steps and a smoother login process, students can concentrate on doing their best — not troubleshooting tech.
- Chromebook™ Support: Students using Chromebooks can now test seamlessly by installing the required Chrome extension. Note: Students must use the Chrome browser to access this feature.
Why You’ll Love the Updated Integration:
Streamlined for Instructors
Improved Usability and Flexibility
Simplified for Students
Enhanced Academic Integrity
Whether you’re setting up your first proctored exam or reviewing results, the process is now faster, easier, and more intuitive than ever.
Roles & Responsibilities
- Course Administrators: You’ll need to configure the Respondus Monitor integration for your school. Once enabled, the settings apply across all Hawkes products.
- Instructors: After the integration is configured, you can enable Respondus Monitor for individual tests and customize settings to suit your classroom needs. After exams are complete, you can review the Proctoring Dashboard to identify potential academic integrity violations.
- Students: Just launch LockDown Browser, follow a few simple security checks, and begin the exam. They’ll be locked into the test environment with restrictions in place to prevent cheating but will return to their normal computer state after finishing the exam.
