The Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser designed specifically for securing the online testing environment within our Learning Management System. When students use this browser, they are restricted from accessing other applications, websites, or resources, ensuring a focused and fair testing experience. In addition to the LockDown Browser, Respondus Monitor utilizes a webcam and advanced analytics to further prevent cheating during online exams. This feature allows for the recording of students while they take their assessments, providing an additional layer of security and accountability.
