Resources to get you online quickly
The Instructional Design Team on Rapid Transition to Online to help you in your academic continuity planning.
Some of us in the Moravian teaching community will be attempting some technologies for the first time, in-service to that effort we wanted to make the experience as unintimidating as possible.
- The current goal is 'Least Viable Product' - Get enough online to get by and you're good!
- Do what you are comfortable with. If you like Zoom use Zoom, If you like Skype, use Skype.
Training and resources on how to incorporate these tools will be posted here as they become available. In the meantime please contact help@moravian.edu
Here are a few recommendations for where to start.
Watch this short This is an excellent jump start made by our own Instructional Designers.

- Respondus Monitor
- Respondus Monitor is a fully automated proctoring solution that enables students to take online exams at any time of the day or night, without pre-scheduling.
- Students use a webcam to record themselves during an exam. A "startup sequence" guides them through requirements selected by the instructor, such as showing identification or making a short video of the exam environment.
- Only the instructor can review video recordings and the results of the proctoring session. Powerful analytics are used to detect suspicious behaviors during an exam session. Video segments with potential exam violations are flagged for the instructor, with an overall risk level assigned to the exam session.
