Respondus LockDown Browser
Respondus LockDown Browser® is a custom browser that locks down the quizzing environment within Canvas. When students use LockDown Browser to access an assessment, they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. Students are locked into an assessment until it is submitted for grading.
Respondus LockDown Browser is a client application that is installed to a local computer. The Windows edition and Mac Edition of the browser is based on Google’s open source Chromium framework. Students do NOT need Google’s Chrome browser installed; nor will this version affect a Chrome browser that’s already installed.
LockDown Browser is not intended to replace the browser used by faculty or students within Canvas. LockDown Browser is only intended for use by students while taking assessments that have been prepared for use with LockDown Browser.
Respondus Monitor
Respondus Monitor™ © is a companion product for LockDown Browser for higher education institutions that enables institutions to protect the integrity of non-proctored, online exams. Students use their own computer and a webcam to record assessment sessions, all without leaving the institution’s learning management system.
