Enhanced Flagging for Respondus Monitor

1. Understanding Respondus Monitor Goals

• Respondus Monitor aims to reduce false positive flags to ensure only relevant events are flagged.
• Improvements in video quality and analysis help achieve this goal.

2. Updated Video Resolution

• Respondus Monitor has increased the resolution of proctoring videos, providing clearer footage.

3. Precise Flagging

• The computer vision models are continually trained and updated to improve accuracy.
• False positive rate has decreased by 80% in the past year.
• Correct identification of events that should be flagged has improved, making flagged events more relevant.

4. Tilt Down Feature

• Respondus Monitor warns students when their face cannot be detected.
• If a face is cropped (due to slouching or pushing the screen back), it prompts students to tilt their camera downward.
• This helps reduce unnecessary flags and provides a better view of the examination environment.

5. Lighting Adjustments

• Respondus Monitor detects faces even in very darkly lit rooms.
• If the lighting is too dark or too bright, it prompts the student to adjust the lighting.
• This ensures better visibility of students in the videos and reduces the chance of being flagged.

By following these steps, faculty can effectively utilize the latest enhancements of Respondus Monitor, ensuring a more accurate and efficient proctoring experience for both students and instructors.
