About the License
Valdosta State University has obtained a campus-wide license for the Respondus 4.0 software application. Respondus is a Windows application that enhances the functions and features of BlazeVIEW's quiz, survey, and self-test tools. Respondus allows you to author quizzes offline, import existing questions from a word processing file, and publish the quizzes directly to your BlazeVIEW course.
Our license with Respondus, Inc. does NOT permit instructors to obtain support directly from Respondus, Inc. If our staff is unable to solve a particular question or problem, we will contact Respondus, Inc. on your behalf.
Our license DOES permit you to install the Respondus software on a home computer. However, please note that you are not permitted to provide the software or the password information to anyone who is not affiliated with our institution. Such an action is a violation of our licensing agreement with Respondus and is also
illegal.
