What's LockDown Browser?

Respondus LockDown Browser creates a “locked” online testing environment for D2L quizzes.

When students use LockDown Browser, it works like a standard browser, but they are unable to:

• Enter new web addresses (URLs)
• Access other applications (such as Instant Messenger or another browser for searching)
• Minimize, resize, or exit the quiz until it's submitted for grading
• Copy and paste to and from a quiz
• Print or take screenshots of questions

LockDown Browser Guides

• Student Guide
• Instructor Guide (PDF)

Additional Information

• A link to another web page on a quiz opens another browser window that is secure.
• Browser menu and toolbar options are disabled except Back, Forward, Refresh, and Stop.
• Right-click, key + click, and function key options are disabled.
• Source code for the HTML page cannot be viewed.
