Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within Canvas. When students use Respondus LockDown Browser they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications and/or files. Instructors do not need to download the browser to set up an exam.

1. Lockdown Browser Instructions and Download link Using LockDown Browser + Monitor for Online Quizzes and Exams. LockDown Browser is a locked browser for taking quizzes in Canvas. It prevents you from printing, copying, going to another website, or accessing other applications during an assessment.
2. Canvas Downloads Canvas requires many different types of plug-ins be used with their course materials. Below is a list of the most common plug-ins. Note: We strongly recommend that each user has some type of antivirus and/or ad-ware software loaded on their computer.

Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom web browser that is used to access quizzes in Canvas. When the LockDown Browser is enabled, students are prevented from opening additional tabs, accessing other applications on their computer, and taking specific actions while on the quiz (e.g. taking screenshots, copying, printing).

Respondus Tools are only deterrents and cannot fully prevent cheating. Additionally, Respondus LockDown Browser is intended for in-person exams, and should, therefore, not be considered an ideal solution for remote/online exams. The best way to prevent academic integrity violations is with a well-designed assessment. If you suspect cheating behavior is occurring, contact the Academic Integrity Office.

Please note that Respondus Monitor will not be available after August 1, 2021.

Privacy and Security

LockDown Browser prevents access to other applications and files during an exam, but it doesn’t access any of your files or documents, nor does it transmit those files to a Respondus server.
