LockDown Browser is a proctoring service that requires students to download a custom browser to take quizzes and exams. This browser prevents students from copying, pasting, accessing other applications, and/or visiting other websites during the time for the online exam. The software also helps disable other methods of cheating such as the use of virtual machines, remote desktops, screenshraing, screen-recording, instant messaging, and much more. When students start an exam with LDB, the assessment will be displayed in full-screen without the option to minimize the browser until the students submit their work for grading. The browser does not have a menu or toolbar, only providing the options to go back, forward, refresh and stop.
Respondus Lockdown Browser is not intended for distance proctoring, as it does not directly monitor students during exams. This tool is best used in an in-person exam setting.
Go to course settings, click on the "Navigation" tab, find the tool you want in your course, and then click the 3 dots on the right and choose "enable." Click "Save" at the bottom of the page.
