Secure Online Exams with Respondus LockDown Browser
Respondus LockDown Browser is a specialized web browser designed to secure online examinations. By restricting users from accessing unauthorized content and applications, it provides a controlled environment that mirrors the integrity of traditional exams. Key features include navigation lockdown, disabling copy-paste functions, and blocking screenshots, all of which are aimed at preventing cheating during assessments. The browser integrates seamlessly with major learning management systems like Blackboard, Canvas, and Moodle, ensuring a cohesive experience for both students and educators.
In addition to its core functionalities, LockDown Browser supports full-screen mode to eliminate distractions and mandates that students complete exams before exiting. It is compatible across various operating systems, including Windows and macOS, making it accessible for a wide range of users. While the software offers a free trial for educational institutions, costs for full licenses vary based on the number of users and required support, typically covered by the institutions rather than the students.
