[BB] Prevent cheating during Blackboard tests: Attend a training

Blackboard users,

UM licenses two products from Respondus that can be used to monitor and reduce online cheating: Respondus Lockdown Browser (University wide site license) and Respondus Monitor (200 seats per year where a seat is one student in one class). A number of people have indicated interest in this capability, particularly after Hurricane Irma disrupted our learning process. While you may not be planning on teaching a fully on-line course, there may be times that you want to allow a student to take a test at a distance or perhaps have all your students take a test outside of class time. These two Respondus products can help increase your trust that the students are really taking the test themselves and are not using outside resources. 

The webinars listed below are 45 minute introductions to what these products are and how they can be used. If you are at all curious, I encourage you to register and take part. If you want to more about using Respondus Lockdown Browser tests in Blackboard, or obtaining some of the Respondus Monitor licenses, let me know.
