Overview

Lockdown

Respondus LockDown Browser is a secure browser tool that prevents students from accessing external resources during proctored assessments administered in testing centers and computer labs (it is installed on Windows computers in the STCs). While taking assessments using LockDown Browser, students are unable to print, copy, go to other web pages, or access other applications. Once students start their assessments, they are locked into them until they submit them for grading. LockDown Browser is available for use in Canvas.

For information about proctoring fully online assessments, see About online proctoring at IU.

IU's contract for Respondus Monitor has expired as of August 20, 2021. Remote proctoring is reserved for fully online programs as outlined in About online proctoring at IU. Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus 4.0 are still available, but the Monitor option in Respondus LockDown Browser is no longer available.

LockDown Browser displays assessments in full-screen windows; students cannot exit or minimize their assessment windows, switch tasks, or access other applications until they submit their assessments for grading. Additionally, LockDown Browser blocks or disables: Zetron 4010 programming manual.

  • Print, Print Screen, and capturing functions
  • Copying and pasting content to and from assessments
  • Messaging, screen-sharing, virtual machine, and network monitoring applications
  • Right-click menu options and function keys
  • Browser menus and toolbar options (except for Back, Forward, Refresh, and Stop)

Instructors need to edit the exam settings to allow iPads to access Respondus LockDown Browser. (Chromebooks can now access LockDown Browser with no instructor intervention.) Android tablets cannot use Respondus LockDown Browser.

Instructors: Set up LockDown Browser for use with a quiz in Canvas

  1. Create a quiz in Canvas. For more about quizzes in Canvas, see the Quizzes documentation in the Canvas Instructor Guide.
    If your quiz includes many high-resolution images and you are delivering it in a lab environment (computer classroom or the IUPUI Testing Center), choose Show one question at a time when setting up your quiz in Canvas. LockDown Browser does not cache images, and may fail to display images if many students request the same quiz at the same time on the same network subnet.
  2. In the course navigation on the left, click LockDown Browser. (If you don't see LockDown Browser, it may be hidden; to display it, use the instructions in How do I manage Course Navigation links?)
  3. Next to the quiz title, click the menu icon ( ), and then select Modify Settings.
  4. Select Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam.
  5. If students will be using their own devices, under 'Advanced Settings', choose Allow students to take this exam with an iPad (using the 'LockDown Browser' app from the Apple App Store).
  6. Set other options, if desired.
  7. Click Save & Close.
    Do not enable Respondus Monitor for your quiz; enabling Respondus Monitor will make your quiz inaccessible to your students. Although Respondus Monitor options appear on the LockDown Browser settings page, this companion service is not included as part of IU's institution-wide license for Respondus LockDown Browser.

Notes

Lockdown Browser Download For Canvas

  • Respondus Lockdown Browser does not work on Chromebooks
  • Most Respondus problems are due to one of the following:
    • Firewall conflicts > turn off the firewall
    • Anti-Virus software conflicts > turn off the anti-virus program
    • Loss of internet connectivity > send teacher a message and try to reconnect and resume exam
  • Other potential issues
    • Give the browser a few seconds to fully load the exam before clicking 'Take the Quiz'. Clicking too soon has been reported as a potential cause of issues
    • Browse to the quiz from the Assignments page, or the Modules page. Sometimes following links in notifications or in the 'To do' section of your Dashboard will fail to send all of the necessary parameters to the Canvas server.

Downloading Respondus LockDown Browser

Troubleshooting Respondus LockDown Browser

  • Blank screen during exam
    A blank screen indicates that the browser has lost connectivity with your institution's server, and the webpage cannot load into the browser.
    In most cases, you should be able to leave your exam, shut down LockDown Browser, and restore your internet connection. We recommend restarting your computer and moving as close to the router as possible.
    If a freeze has occurred, and you're unable to exit, please reference this article
    For more information see - https://support.respondus.com/support/index.php?/default_import/Knowledgebase/Article/View/579/25/blank-screen-during-exam
  • LockDown Browser appears as malware or a virus
    This is a potential problem when installing Respondus Lockdown Browser.
    Security software or an 'anti-malware' program with very high settings might falsely detect LockDown Browsers as malware such as a virus, Trojan or parasite. The security program would block the download or corrupt the LockDown Browser installer.
    https://support.respondus.com/support/index.php?/default_import/Knowledgebase/Article/View/274/18/lockdown-browser-appears-as-malware-or-a-virus
  • Error Message:'Update server is not supplying information, or the connection to update server is blocked.'
    When the warning appears, 'Update server is not supplying information, or the connection to update server is blocked. Please try again later' this typically indicates that security settings or another application is blocking access to the Respondus servers that LockDown Browser uses at startup

  • You must close SSInvitationAgent in a Mac
    The 'SSInvitationAgent' is actually a component of other applications such as Apple Messages that also offers a screen sharing option, which is separate from the Mac->System Preferences->Sharing indicated in a warning when starting LockDown Browser 2.0 for Mac.

  • Mac: Webcam Not Detected
    If your webcam is not detected at some point during the pre-exam webcam check, and you see the below message, it is likely caused by 3rd party anti-virus software that is installed on your computer. It's also possible that you aren't seeing the below message, but rather are experience a freeze/hang on one of the steps. This, too, may be caused by anti-virus software.

  • Webcam Blocked
    If you see an image of camera with an arrow through it during your pre-exam webcam check, it is because of a privacy setting that is enabled in your camera's software utility.

  • Error: Course (OK), Exam (UNKNOWN)
    The above error indicates that the exam's LockDown Browser settings could not be detected. For Canvas users, this may be due to you not letting each page fully load before clicking on the 'Take Quiz' button.
