With the start of the semester underway, you may have already heard about or started to use Lockdown Browser <\/strong>in your courses. Lockdown Browser <\/strong>is a tool from Respondus <\/strong>that creates a secure testing environment for students, ensuring that they cannot access external applications from their testing computer during a test. The system also provides the option to enable Respondus Monitor<\/strong> if you need to record students’ webcams and screens while taking the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting started with the software may be a bit tricky at first, but we’ve assembled a few guides and resources to assist with any speedbumps along the way. We also highly recommend reaching out to our team if this is the first time you’re setting this up in your courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For teachers, we’ve put together a setup guide<\/a><\/strong> that walks you through the setup process and describes the different options you can enable. On the student side, we have another guide<\/a><\/strong> that walks through the download\/installation process and provides tips to avoid the usual technical issues that we see with the software. Links to both of these are below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
