Canvas Lockdown Browser Download

Posted on by

The version of Lockdown Browser available in Rutgers Canvas is different than the version from other institutions; each download file is tied to an institution. If you need to use Lockdown Browser to take an exam or quiz in both Rutgers Canvas and another institution as part of a partnership program, then you will need to install two versions. Testing Services prefers the Lockdown Browser settings be turned off on computer-based tests proctored in their testing centers as it is not compatible with their LanSchool software Downloads Select your operating system below to download the LockDown Browser.

Respondus LockDown Browser™ is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within Canvas. It prevents students from accessing an exam within a regular browser. When students use Respondus LockDown Browser they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. When an assessment is started, students are locked into it until they submit it for grading.

Great news! Pearson MyLab now integrates with the Respondus Monitor proctoring system. Here are the details:

·Works seamlessly with your Respondus Monitor license:There are no hoops to jump through, no wires to twist together. Instructors simply link their LMS course to a MyLab course and the magic occurs from there.

·New reporting: Usage reports have been updated so admins can see Respondus Monitor use across each LMS course and publishing system.

·Easy set-up for Instructors: Instructors perform a one-time, two-step process for linking their MyLab course to Respondus Monitor.

Respondus Monitor Feature in Canvas

Respondus Monitor is a webcam feature for LockDown Browser that records students during their exam. Instructors can require students to use a webcam and microphone with Respondus Monitor. After the student has completed the exam, an instructor can review the details of the exam and watch the recorded videos.
