[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a professor teaching two virtual classes and one in-person class.  For exams, my college approved Lockdown Browser but not Respondus Monitor.

One of my virtual classes has remarkably high scores.  After two exams with an average of 90, my dean gave me permission to use Respondus Monitor and the average fell to 50%.

I just heard from a student that for the first two exams, someone filmed the exam and posted it in their group chat.

Is there some way to get on the student group chats to see who did it?

These are pre-health students.  Your future nurses and doctors.

Create how many questions you need - ideally long essay , then use a randomizer program to select one or two questions per student.  That's it.
If they want to cheat at least they will have to spend time trying to find the person who has a similar question to their own which would slow down their cheating.

I also agree with making it open book

Years and years ago I took on an online grad class. Exam had 3 short essay questions (short being about 3 pages each answer). Upon submission of the exam, I got a short timed quiz. Some in class got a notice to check their email for exam results but to get them the email told them they had to submit the answers to the quiz through email. The thing was no one knew about the second part of the exam upfront and it was on submission that the quiz or email quiz  kicked in. No one complained they missed or didn't understand to take the second part of the exam. But back then we didn't have group chatting of phones with cameras and so on though [/quote]
