Background:
Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment in select Carson College of Business Canvas courses.
If your Carson College of business instructor configured your assessment or quiz to use Respondus, you must log into Canvas using the Respondus LockDown Browser. Assessments configured for Respondus cannot be completed in a standard web browser.
What to Expect:
- Assessments are displayed full-screen and cannot be minimized
- Browser menu and toolbar options are removed, except for Back, Forward, Refresh and Stop
- Prevents access to other applications including messaging, screen-sharing, virtual machines, and remote desktops
- Printing and screen capture functions are disabled
- Copying and pasting anything to or from an assessment is prevented
- Right-click menu options, function keys, keyboard shortcuts and task switching are disabled
- An assessment cannot be exited until the student submits it for grading
- Assessments that are set up for use with LockDown Browser cannot be accessed with other browsers
