Respondus LockDown Browser
Respondus LockDown Browser™ is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within Blackboard, ANGEL, Desire2Learn, Instructure, Moodle, and Sakai. When students use Respondus LockDown Browser they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. When an assessment is started, students are locked into it until they submit it for grading. (Supports Windows and Mac OS X 10.3.9+.)

It accounts for both the quality of the student video and suspicious events that indicate exam violations may have occurred.
