Lockdown Browser & Respondus Monitor How-to's
Lockdown Browser and Respondus Monitor are university-supported tools.
Respondus Lockdown Browser is a specially-designed web browser for taking tests in Canvas. Lockdown Browser prevents students from copying, pasting, taking screen captures, using instant messaging programs, accessing other applications, or accessing other websites (unless configured to allow access to specified external sites).
Respondus Monitor is a video monitoring service that serves as a deterrent to students using secondary computers, phones, calculators, textbooks, or receiving assistance from other students. Respondus Monitor cannot be used alone, but must be used in conjunction with LockDown Browser. After a student has taken an exam, instructors can review sessions to check for any suspect behavior.
