Respondus LockDown browser is a new tool used by faculty when administering quizzes or tests through Canvas.  This application uses several methods to discourage cheating such as the inability to use other browsers and chat software.

Faculty have access to the Respondus LockDown Browser. Lockdown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment in Canvas. When students use Lockdown Browser to take a quiz, they are unable to print, copy, visit other websites, access other applications, or close a quiz until it is submitted for grading.
