What is Respondus LockDown Browser?

LockDown Browser "locks down" the browser on a computer or tablet. Students are unable to copy, print, access other applications, or visit other websites during an online exam. LockDown Browser also blocks hundreds of common and advanced methods of digital cheating, such as the use of Virtual Machines, remote desktops, screen-sharing, instant messaging, screen recording, keystroke combinations, launching applications with timers/alerts, and browser cache exploits.

Important information for instructors

Canvas Settings for "View Results"

Keep View Results "Only Once After Each Attempt" enabled, but via the LockDown Browser Dashboard, uncheck the box that requires the use of LockDown Browser to view the answers. The student will already be in LockDown Browser after exam submission, and the results will immediately show.

Chromebooks and iPads

If an instructor sets up Lockdown Browser on a quiz, there are settings that need to be checked to allow a student to use an iPad or a Chromebook*. This is on a quiz by quiz basis, so would need to be checked each time. There is a difference in how students access Lockdown browser based on whether the quiz is a "Classic" quiz or a New quiz. If it's a New quiz, Lockdown Browser will launch automatically. But if it's an "Old" quiz, the student would need to launch Lockdown Browser manually.

IMPORTANT: Create a Pre-Quiz

Instructors should always create a pre-quiz to test LockDown Browser before they attempt a real exam/quiz. Students have all different kinds of devices and we don’t have control how student own devices work. Students should reach out to the CTC  if they are having trouble accessing Respondus Lockdown Browser.
