Respondus is an efficient tool for creating and managing assessments/exams that can be printed to paper or published directly to WebVista, Moodle, and other online course management systems. Assessments can be created offline using a familiar Windows environment, or moved from one type of system to another.
Respondus requires a Windows operating system. For details visit the System Requirements page on the Respondus, Inc. site.
