Lockdown Browser is a technology that is intended to replicate a proctored testing environment. When using Lockdown Browser, student cannot:
- Print
- Capture screen content
- Access other websites
- Access any other computer applications (e.g. saved documents. Microsoft Office, other internet browsers)
There are two perspectives when deploying Lockdown Browser:
1. Instructor View: set up a quiz in the LMS to be deployed using Lockdown Browser
2. Student View: provides instructions to students for downloading Lockdown Browser software on a computer. Canvas requires a manual launch, which means students must open Lockdown Browser first before they begin an assessment via Canvas or other platform.
- Install custom browser from unique link supplied by instructor
- Windows, Mac, or iPad ONLY
- Or, use a lab computer with browser installed
