Can colleges see what you open on your computer without asking for permission

So let's say you are in an online class and take a test on blackboard. Can your professor Be notified if you make a new tab or press any buttons outside the window of the test?

There is a Blackboard Respondus Lockdown tool but our professor didn't make us download it yet.
