Respondus LockDown Browser

Respondus LockDown Browser creates a restricted test-taking environment. The Respondus LockDown Browser does not allow other windows to be opened during the quiz and helps mitigate cheating. When students use Respondus LockDown Browser they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. This is particularly helpful for tests/exams in supervised classrooms or lab environments.

Students can access LockDown Browser by installing it on their PC, Mac, or iPad (access via iPad requires additional setup by instructors). Loaner laptops are available on campus for students who do not have access to compatible devices.

• LockDown Browser can also be downloaded directly from the unique Respondus LockDown Browser URL for Montclair State University
• Students who attempt to take a Canvas quiz which requires LockDown Browser from any other browser will be directed to download LockDown Browser

Note: Faculty do not need to download and install LockDown Browser application to require it for their quizzes.

LockDown Browser integrates with the Canvas Learning Management System. Faculty can create quizzes that can only be accessed using LockDown Browser. For more information about implementing, using, installing, and finding LockDown Browser, please consult the documentation below:

LockDown Browser can now be used jointly with Zoom. In order to activate Zoom for usage with your LockDown Browser quiz, follow these steps, which are also indicated in the step-by-step screenshot below:

• Provide students the instructions for downloading and installing LockDown Browser
• Convey to students that LockDown Browser and a video conferencing system will be used for online exams. (Important: Schedule a practice exam where everything can be tried by the class in advance.)
• Locate the LockDown Browser Dashboard in the learning system, select “Require LockDown Browser for this exam,” select “Allow” live proctoring for this exam …” and then supply a “Start Code” (which prevents students from starting the exam early).
• Use your normal process to create a meeting for the video conferencing system (Zoom, Teams, etc.). Distribute the meeting information to students prior to the exam.
• At the scheduled time, take attendance and confirm you can see and hear all students in the video conferencing system. When ready, provide the Start Code to students to commence the exam.
• Remind students the video conferencing system will continue to run in the background, enabling you to see and hear them during the exam. However, they will be unable to access the system during the exam. It is up to you to ensure students stay in the video conference during the exam.
• Note: An iPad doesn’t allow you to run a video conferencing app and LockDown Browser at the same time. Consider these alternatives: 1) Have the student use a different device altogether (Windows, Mac, Chromebook), 2) have the student use a second device for the video conferencing itself, or 3) allow the student to shut down the video conferencing system on the iPad when it’s time to start the exam.

Can a Chromebook be used with LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor? (Higher Ed)

A Chromebook extension for LockDown Browser is available for exams delivered in Canvas, Blackboard Learn, D2L Brightspace, Schoology and Moodle. This solution is for student-owned and also managed devices. The LockDown Browser Chromebook extension also supports Respondus Monitor (except in Schoology), an automated proctoring system used at over 1,000 colleges and universities. The Server Profile Setting The LockDown Browser for Chromebook setting is enabled by default for all Respondus Server profiles. This profile-level setting can be disabled, if desired, and doing so will prohibit Chromebooks from being used for any exam that requires LockDown Browser. Once you enable LockDown Browser to be used for a quiz, the LockDown Browser for Chromebook quiz-level setting is also automatically enabled....just like how it's done with LockDown Browser for Windows and Mac. Installing the Chromebook Extension To install the new extension to a student-owned Chromebook, students will need to use the regular LockDown Browser installation link for your school (they will NOT be able to search for the app directly from the Chrome web store.) The LockDown Browser installation link will direct students to the Chrome web store, at which point they should select “Add to Chrome” to install the LockDown Browser Extension. Managed Chromebooks With managed Chromebooks, students will need to have the necessary permissions to install Chrome extensions, or the extension will need to be pushed to their Chromebooks via the Google Admin Suite. Instructions on how to do this can be found by logging on to Respondus Admin Area, and downloading the administrator guide titled 'Managed Chromebooks.' To obtain technical support, or to report a bug/issue, open a support ticket at https://support.respondus.com/ Known Issues Limitations and/or known issues with LockDown Browser for Chromebook: - Quiz passwords (specified via the 'optional password' field in the LockDown Browser Dashboard) aren’t currently supported for exams that use only LockDown Browser.
