Steps to make it go more smoothly. (in order of most useful)
Please note that you do not need Respondus if you already have a QTI package that you may have obtained from the publisher of the textbook or other sources. Please see this guide – ‘How do I import a quiz from a QTI package?‘.
Download custom installation file and license information from UDeploy Respondus.
System Requirements
Before you start the installation, all other applications must be closed. Do not have Notepad or any text editor open. Run Respondus4Campus.exe to start the installation. The following is a summary of the steps. Informational window screens during the installation are omitted to keep instructions short. Click ‘Next >’ on informational window screens during the installation process.
Included with the installation file is a text file with the license information. Our license also permits you to install a copy of the Respondus software on a home or travel computer. However, you are not permitted to provide the Respondus software or the password information to anyone who is not affiliated with our institution. Such an action is a violation of our licensing agreement with Respondus and is also illegal. The license information must be entered exactly as shown in the license file.
The first time you start Respondus 4.0, you will be presented with the license window. If you accidentally clicked away or closed the license window, go to the menu at the top of the application and select ‘File‘ and ‘Update License‘.
Copy and paste the information in the correct boxes and click ‘License‘.
After entering the license information, you will need to choose the appropriate learning management system (LMS) personality. Choose ‘Canvas‘.
You can create your exams using Respondus 4.0 or import from a Microsoft Word file. When you are ready to publish exams to Canvas, click on the ‘Preview + Publish‘ tab. Please note that the ‘Preview + Publish’ option will only be active after you create or open a saved Respondus exam file or has imported an exam from Microsoft Word or other readable format. Click on ‘Publish‘ in the left pane and click on ‘Publish Wizard‘.
Publish Wizard
Respondus will display an information box asking you to log into Canvas using the browser window. Simply click ‘OK’.
We recommend the following settings below:

This can be done via email or Canvas communication.
When it is time for your meeting, sign back in to Zoom and click on ‘Meetings’ and then ‘Start’. It is important that you sign in again when it is time to start the meeting so you have all the features as host of the meeting.
If Zoom did not start automatically, click ‘download & run Zoom‘. Your browser may save it to a location that is set for the browser so please check the location for the file.
Enter your name. Click ‘Join Meeting‘ and then ‘Join with Video‘.

Check that your speaker is ON.
During class you should mute your microphone or your instructor may mute it for you. Be sure to enable the microphone if you need to speak.
We recommend that you check the following to minimize issues with using Zoom. We also recommend that you ask your students to test Zoom before the class. See Zoom test instructions.
Check that you are not muted. The mic icon will have a red line if muted. Hit the up arrow key to choose your preferred microphone and speaker especially if you have multiple devices connected that function as microphone/speaker.
If you see a black screen, make sure nothing is covering your camera. Some webcams may have a privacy cover. Hit the up arrow key to choose your camera if you have multiple cameras connected like an integrated laptop webcam and an external USB webcam.
For classes with a large number of students, you may want to ‘Mute Participants on Entry’ and uncheck ‘Allow Participants to Unmute Themselves’. If you do this, please pay attention to the Zoom Chat and the Participants windows should a student ask a question or try to get your attention. Know how to change the settings so you can prevent disruption and allow interaction as needed.
Keep the chat window open if you mute participants so they can ask their questions via chat.
There are many different sharing options. Most basic will be sharing your PowerPoint, the whole screen or a Whiteboard. Explore the ‘Advanced’ tab should you need other sharing options. Decide on how you would like to manage sharing and know how to change the settings during your session. Please see Zoom’s Sharing your screen webpage for more information.
Example: Share PowerPoint presentation
Advanced Sharing Options
You can use this feature to hold sub groups discussions. Please be aware that if you are recording, only the main room will be recorded. Please see Zoom’s Getting Started with Breakout Rooms for more information.
If you would like to record your meeting but did not set to record automatically when the meeting starts, you can click on the ‘Record’ button and select ‘Record to the Cloud‘.
