Respondus offers two proctoring options for online exams in Canvas. Respondus LockDown Browser locks down the testing environment so students cannot print, copy, access other applications, or search the internet during an exam. Respondus Monitor builds upon LockDown Browser by using a student's webcam to record the testing session for automated proctoring.

Canvas Inbox

Canvas Inbox provides a convenient way to communicate with students directly within Canvas. Since students regularly access Canvas for course information, Inbox can be an effective alternative to regular email.
