Respondus Lockdown Browser Canvas Download

Used in conjunction with the Canvas Quizzes tool, Respondus offers two products to increase the integrity of online exams. Lockdown Browser is a custom browser that allows you literally lock down the online testing environment within the learning management system, preventing students from moving away from the testing browser to another browser or application on their machine. Respondus Monitor, integrated in Respondus Lockdown Browser, provides additional exam integrity by monitoring student activity during an exam session. Using the student’s web camera, Monitor is a fully automated proctoring solution that enables students to take online exams at any time without pre-scheduling an exam session.

Respondus Lockdown Browser prohibits the tester’s ability to navigate away from the testing environment or to open any other windows or applications during testing. Many instructors find this very helpful in maintaining online assessment integrity. While in the Lockdown Browser, testers view the assessment full screen and cannot minimize the window. The assessment also cannot be closed out until it is submitted for grading. Print, Print Screen, and screen capture functions do not work while the assessment is open and testers are unable to copy and paste anything to/from the assessment. Respondus Monitor increases exam integrity by providing a report to let instructors know if the student left the camera view or if another person came into the view.

  1. Lockdown Browser and New Quizzes. When you access a quiz or exam created as a Quizzes.Next (New Quizzes), Canvas will open a new browser and prompt you to download Respondus Lockdown Browser. Download and install Respondus Lockdown Browser. Return to your Canvas.
  2. Respondus LockDown Browser. A custom browser that locks down the testing environment within the learning management system (i.e. Canvas.) This is a downloadable application that is installed on your local computer and provides a customized user interface within your internet browser.

Feb 10, 2018 Have you been able to successfully download the Respondus Lockdown Browser so that you can take your exam(s)? I'm hopeful that you've been able to do this, and so I am going to mark your question as 'Assumed Answered' because we've not heard back from you and because there hasn't been any new activity in this topic since February.
