Respondus is a tool for creating and managing exams that can be printed on paper or published directly to Canvas. StudyMate allows you to create Flash-based activities using easy-to-use templates that can be published directly to Canvas.  Follow the instructions below for installing Respondus and StudyMate.

Note: The desktop versions of Respondus and StudyMate only operate on the Windows operating system.  If you are a Mac user, use VMWare to log into the "Faculty & Staff" virtual desktop.
