Using Respondus 4 with VDI

To access the desktop pool with respondus 4, you will need to install our VDI client. For instructions on how to download and configure the VDI client VM Ware Horizon, please see our guide here:
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Guide

Once you’ve installed VM Ware Horizon and added a connection server (https://vdi.siu.edu). Click on the connection server to sign in. Once signed in, select the desktop pool named IT-CLCLabs.

You should be automatically signed in with the account you signed into the client with. If not, just sign in with your Network ID (SIU85xxxxxxx).

Once the desktop has loaded in, click on the search bar in the bottom left and type in “respondus”. Respondus 4 should show in the results above. Click to select it.
The first time you open it, you will receive an error, this is normal.

Once you see this error, click ok, and open respondus again.

After opening respondus a second time you will see the following notification. Click ok.

Enter in the Institution Name, Local Support contact, and Installation Password, and click license. This information can be found in D2L on the homepage of my courses for faculty.

Click “Close”

Select “D2L Brightspace” from the drop-down menu and select “OK”.

These desktop pools are not persistent, meaning all data is lost once you sign out. Remember to save your work to oneDrive, or another device to prevent data loss.
