Respondus LockDown Browser is an academic integrity tool designed for proctored settings that can be required in order to complete a Moodle quiz. This browser creates an added level of security by limiting a user’s ability to print, access the internet and use other programs until the quiz is submitted. Quizzes designated to be taken with Respondus LockDown Browser cannot be accessed by any other internet browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc).
