Respondus Online Test Proctoring
Respondus LockDown Browser® is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within a learning management system such as Canvas. Just as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, and more are all browsers that let you search the internet, the LockDown Browser is a browser too. This browser is for taking tests, and keeps users from opening other programs on their computer during the test.
How can I have my Canvas quizzes/assessments use the LockDown Browser?
- Create a quiz/test/assessment in Canvas.
- Select the Canvas Settings from the navigation on the left from within a Canvas course.
- Select the Navigation tab at the top.
- Locate LockDown Browser and enable it.
- Save at the bottom of the page (Notice that LockDown Browser is now in the course navigation).
- Select the LockDown Browser from the navigation.
- Watch the Introduction, video tutorials, etc from the tabs at the top of the page.
Notes
- It works on Windows, Mac and Chomebooks and can be enabled to work on iPads, but not on any other device or smartphone.
