Respondus Monitor currently integrates with Blackboard Learn 9.x,
Moodle 3.x, D2L Brightspace LE 10.x, Schoology and Instructure
Canvas. Additional integrations are forthcoming.
As long as the courses are at the same institution, it is only
necessary for students to install LockDown Browser once.
The "Comment" section for the student will indicate that a video
interruption has occurred. (The video will also likely show the
student unplugging their USB cable.)
