Respondus 4.0

Instructors may use Respondus 4.0 to upload test questions from a document to create a test in HuskyCT. The application can also be used to download a HuskyCT test to a document. This can be used to provide paper copies of HuskyCT tests for BYOD testing.

Using Respondus 4.0 on a Mac

While Respondus 4.0 is designed to only run on Windows machines, it is available to Mac users through UConn Anyware. When run through Anyware, Mac users can use Respondus 4.0 in the same way PC users can. To do so, Mac users must first set up Anyware by installing the Citrix Workspaces. Visit the Anyware Desktop - First Time Set-Up & How to Access page for instructions on that process. Once that initial step is completed, Mac users can continue to follow the steps below to use Respondus 4.0. 

Users accessing Respondus 4.0 via Anyware from off-campus, will need to use Cisco AnyConnect VPN to access Anyware. Users can find more information on installing and using Cisco AnyConnect here: https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IKB/pages/10907091023

Using Respondus to Create Exams

Respondus 4.0 can currently only create tests/exams directly in HuskyCT for Original Course View. For uploading questions into an Ultra Course View course, Respondus 4.0 can only upload those as a Pool, which would then appear in a course in the instructor’s Question Banks area. Instructors would then build a test in the course from that Question Bank. This article explains more on that topic.
