Respondus, StudyMate & LockDown Browser

Respondus enables you to create and manage exams that you can print on paper or publish directly to eLearning. You can either create exams offline or import existing exams from word processor files.

StudyMate lets you create ten Flash-based activities and games using three simple templates. Activities can be uploaded to a website or published directly to eLearning.

LockDown Browser significantly reduces the potential for students to find outside answers on the Internet or via instant messaging while taking a computer-based assessment. The browser is integrated with eLearning via a PowerLink; you can require that students use LockDown Browser when you create assessments in eLearning by simply selecting a checkbox in the Assessments tool.
