If you have a student that needs access to your course from a previous semester, please contact SSC Online with the course, section, and student information. Ask that the role of “Incomplete Student” be assigned to the student for that particular course.
Please be advised students with the role of “Incomplete Student” will continue to have access to the course until such time that you ask that their role be changed back to “Learner”.
If you had dates on the assignments they need to submit you should be able to assign “View Content that is Not Released” or add a new date for just that student as a Release Condition.

Step 5: View Results
For the best experience with video conferencing (Bongo, Microsoft Teams, etc.) or VPN access to South Suburban College, you should have ping less than 100 ms, jitter less than 10 ms, download greater than 6.0 Mbps, and upload greater than 3.0 Mbps.
Please note that these suggested values will be affected by the amount of users that you actively have on your home network. The more devices you have attached to your network at any one time, the less available upload and download bandwidth you will have, and your ping and jitter values will go up as well.
If you find that your network is not performing at the minimum recommendation listed above please contact John McCormack.

Access
We will be using D2L Brightspace this semester as our learning management system (LMS).
Links to D2L Brightspace, Office 365, SSC Self-Service, and Employee email are available in the footer of every www.ssc.edu webpage under the Self-Service heading. You can also bookmark these tools (Example: D2L = https://d2l.ssc.edu/).
Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-Factor Authentication is now required for SSC cloud-based services like Office 365, and D2L Brightspace. What is MFA and why is it important? Multi-Factor Authentication enhances our cyber security by requiring users to identify themselves by more than a username and password (which can be stolen). MFA requires an additional verification code sent by via email, SMS or to a mobile app (Microsoft Authenticator). You will have a choice of secondary authentication method.
Each instructor will create their own SSC passphrase to use with their network account, as well as, a hint in case the passphrase is forgotten. For security reasons, you will work directly with Network Systems. Please contact Donna Martin at 708-596-2000, extension 2670 to set or recovery your passphrase and hint.
If Donna is not available, please leave a voicemail message with your name, phone number, and the best times to return your call.

Overview Video / What is Respondus?
Preparing an Exam for Use with Lockdown Browswer & Respondus Monitor
Join Kimberly Marks as she walks us through the process she uses to set up Respondus Monitor and LockDown Browser for her course assessments.
TLC Workshop – April 22, 2021 / Kim Marks shares her experience with Jamie Welling using Respondus Lockdown Browser and Monitor to proctor her exams online.
Respondus is not compatible with tablets (other then iPads), cell phones or Chromebooks. Our web analytics tell us that 50% of our students are accessing our web resources with one of these devices.
Students with screen readers and other web accessibility software will also more than likely have compatibility issues.
Students are required to have a webcam and compatible device for Respondus to work. Workstations have been set up in the computer lab (Fish Bowl) at the South Holland campus and in the Computer Lab at the Oak Forest campus for student use.
Cengage Learning now provides integration with your D2L BrightSpace course. This enables instructors to add Cengage Learning MindTap content to their courses, synchronize scores, and eliminate multiple logins for students.
