Rappahannock Community College uses online testing tools to support academic integrity and provide secure testing environments for students enrolled in distance education courses.
RCC currently supports Respondus LockDown Browser and Honorlock. Students should review their course instructions to determine which testing software is required for each assessment. Please note that not all courses or exams require remote proctoring. For assistance with installing, accessing, or troubleshooting testing software, students may contact the RCC Help Desk.
Respondus LockDown Browser restricts access to other websites and applications during an assessment. When Respondus Monitor is used, your webcam and microphone are recorded, and your screen may also be recorded. Automated monitoring identifies activity for instructor review; students are not continuously monitored by a live proctor. RCC does not require a room scan when using Respondus Monitor.
Honorlock may record your webcam, microphone, computer screen, and browser activity and verify your identity before the exam. Honorlock uses automated monitoring, and some sessions may also be reviewed by a trained proctor. Certain assessments may require a mobile device as a second camera to view the immediate testing workspace.
