Respondus

Respondus Lockdown Browser

Lockdown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within Canvas. Once students begin an exam they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL or access other applications until the exam is submitted for grading. Respondus lockdown browser is available for download at the same sources listed above. We encourage you to consult with a Hub Faculty member before installing Respondus Lockdown Browser.

Test Results & Feedback

If you require your students to use Respondus Lockdown Browser for testing please consider how you provide test results and feedback. Faculty can allow test results and feedback to become available to students after they complete a test. Lockdown Browser will not prevent students from printing or making copies of correct test responses if you allow this setting in the Canvas test options.

Respondus Monitor

Respondus Monitor is a no-cost web camera test proctoring option that works with LockDown Browser. Students are prompted to use their web camera on their Windows or Mac computer before taking an exam. The student is recorded during the test and the instructor receives access to a recording and report on the student’s activity during the test.

Respondus LockDown Browser for Chromebook

To install the new extension to a student-owned Chromebook, students can download the Respondus LockDown Browser for Chemeketa Students.
