Instead of Respondus Monitor

Respondus Monitor alternatives

Respondus Monitor is designed for higher-education exams: it records students by webcam and gives instructors flagged events and results to review. Paired with LockDown Browser, it can restrict printing, copying, access to other applications, and internet searches. It launches from major browsers when an exam requires it, connects with several learning platforms, and does not require students to schedule a proctoring session. Students also have 24/7 real-time chat support. Its platform coverage includes Windows, Mac, Chromebook, and iPad devices, with Android and iOS also named among its platforms.

The dependency on LockDown Browser is a key constraint: institutions need a campus-wide license and must enable Monitor, and the product does not offer live proctoring. Students need a webcam, microphone, broadband internet, and supported software versions. The Student Purchase plan is $15 a year, while institutional options include annual fees and quote-based pricing. When comparing alternatives, weigh whether you need live review, broader assessment creation and grading, offline delivery, a different browser or device setup, or a platform tied to a particular learning system.
