Respondus
Lock Haven University faculty and staff can now access both Respondus and StudyMate on the X: drive (staffapps on 'lark'). You have access to this drive when logged in to the University network.
If you would like to install the programs on your home computer, you may either use a USB drive to take the files home, or you can set up a VPN connection to LHU from home. Instructions on setting up a VPN connection can be found at http://www.lhup.edu/computing_and_tech/faqdisp.php?faq_id=22. Once you set up a VPN connection to the LHU network, you will just need to map to \\lark.lhup.edu\staffapps.
After installing each product, you will need to enter the following information when prompted upon opening them for the first time. Be sure to copy and paste the information exactly as it is shown below:

Many of you are already familiar with Respondus, the exam creation utility which allows you to create exams offline and then upload them to your eCollege course shell, but StudyMate is new for this semester! StudyMate lets you create ten Flash-based activities and games using four simple templates. The Flash activities can be published directly to your eCollege course shell. StudyMate will import items from MS Word files and publisher test banks, making it easy to create interesting, interactive activities from existing content. Best of all, you don’t have to know Flash programming or HTML to use StudyMate!
Further details on each product can be found at http://www.respondus.com/products/respondus.shtml and http://www.respondus.com/products/studymate.shtml, but be sure not to sign up for the 30-day trial there, as you already have the products available to you for free through LHU.
User guides for both products can be downloaded from http://www.respondus.com/products/userguide.shtml.
