Respondus Lockdown Browser + Monitor
Lockdown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment in Canvas. Monitor is an additional feature that may be used in conjunction with Lockdown Browser. Monitor requires students use a webcam to record their testing session. Instructors may review Monitor videos following student exams.
Students are required to download and install Lockdown Browser on their personal computers. Please add the download link to your syllabus if you intend to use Lockdown Browser in your course. Create an ungraded practice quiz in your course so students may test their system with Lockdown Browser prior to completing a graded exam.
Instructor Live Proctoring
- Instructor Live Proctoring has been tested and will work with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, but any web-based video conferencing system should work.
- Students can use the lockdown browser for Windows, Mac, or the new Chromebook Extension.
- Lockdown Browser for iPad does not directly support this option, but similar results can be achieved if a second device is used.
- Students should have the latest version of the lockdown browser.
- Live Proctoring and Respondus Monitor cannot be used at the same time.
- Only recommended for small classes as the instructor must:
- manage the logistics of getting students logged into the video conference system,
- take attendance,
- watch students during the exam,
- and track whether students leave the video conferencing session.
- This can be challenging if the class size is more than 20-25 students.
