What is Respondus Lockdown Browser and Monitor?

LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment in Canvas. When students use LockDown Browser to access a quiz, they are unable to print, copy, visit other websites, access other applications, or close a quiz until it is submitted for grading.  Quizzes created for use with LockDown Browser cannot be accessed with standard browsers.

Building on the LockDown Browser technology, Monitor uses a student's webcam and industry-leading video analytics to prevent cheating during non-proctored exams. It  uses a student's webcam to record and analyze student exam sessions

Can an iPad be used to take a LockDown Browser exam?

• The iPad Edition of "LockDown Browser" available from iTunes enables a student to use an iPad to take exams that require LockDown Browser. However, your instructor must first select a setting that permits the use of iPads for the exam and your school's learning management system must be compatible.
