Faculty Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor

Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser that only allows users to view the testing environment within the Learning Management System. In addition with LockDown Browser, Respondus Monitor uses a webcam and analytics to prevent cheating.

Support for Windows 7 will end on June 28, 2023. Several technologies we rely on are ending their support for Windows 7 on that date, which means LockDown Browser will also cease working on Windows 7 computers at that time. Students using Windows 7 will need to upgrade to Windows 10/11 or find another device that is supported. LockDown Browser can be used with Windows 10+, Mac 10.13+, Chromebook, and iPads running iOS 11+ (the iPad setting must be enabled by the instructor).
 
If you have technical questions about any of the above, please open a support ticket with Respondus Support.
