Lockdown Browser & Respondus

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

• Webinar Overview 
• Instructor Quick Start Guide
• Preparing a Quiz for Use with Lockdown Browser in Canvas
• Training Webinar Calendar

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
