LockDown Browser prevents cheating during proctored online exams. Learn how it integrates with Blackboard Learn, Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle, and more.

Lockdown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment in Canvas. Monitor is an additional feature that may be used in conjunction with Lockdown Browser. Monitor requires students use a webcam to record their testing session. Instructors may review Monitor videos following student exams.

Students are required to download and install Lockdown Browser on their personal computers. Please add the download link to your syllabus if you intend to use Lockdown Browser in your course. Create an ungraded practice quiz in your course so students may test their system with Lockdown Browser prior to completing a graded exam.

Instructor Live Proctoring

Instructor Live Proctoring has been tested and will work with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, but any web-based video conferencing system should work.
Students can use the lockdown browser for Windows, Mac, or the new Chromebook Extension.
- Lockdown Browser for iPad does not directly support this option, but similar results can be achieved if a second device is used.
Students should have the latest version of the lockdown browser.
Live Proctoring and Respondus Monitor cannot be used at the same time.
Only recommended for small classes as the instructor must:
- manage the logistics of getting students logged into the video conference system,
- take attendance,
- watch students during the exam,
- and track whether students leave the video conferencing session.
- This can be challenging if the class size is more than 20-25 students.

Student Edition

Students may download Lockdown Browser for their personal computers using UTA's unique link.

Students using Chromebooks

To install the new extension to a student-owned Chromebook, students will need to use the regular LockDown Browser installation link for UTA (they will NOT be able to search for the app directly from the Chrome web store.) The LockDown Browser installation link will direct students to the Chrome web store, at which point they should select “Add to Chrome” to install the LockDown Browser Extension.

Lab Edition

A special version of Lockdown Browser is available for use in computer lab settings. Lab Administrators may submit a Service Now request for CDE to obtain the most recent version.

Respondus 4.0

Respondus 4.0 is a powerful tool for creating and managing exams that can be printed to paper or published directly to Canvas. Exams can be created offline using a familiar Windows environment, or moved from one LMS to another. Whether you are a veteran of online testing or relatively new to it, Respondus will save you hours on each project.

To download the software to your computer and review additional information, please visit the Respondus 4.0 course on Canvas.

Support

Respondus provides knowledge-base and ticket-based support for faculty and students. Additionally, 24/7 chat-based support is available for students when testing using Monitor. The chat link is available within the Help Center in Lockdown Browser.

Notes

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.

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

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.

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
