Many of BCC’s professors give tests which are timed online exams and proctored exams. These online exams can use the Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor for remote proctoring of exams.
What is Remote proctoring?
Remote proctoring uses a webcam to monitor students when they are taking exams. While face-to-face in-class exams have a live proctor, online classes use a remote proctoring solution to help students take exams from off-campus locations.
