Content Comparison

Respondus®️ LockDown Browser is a custom browser that prevents student access during tests to other applications including messaging, screen-sharing, virtual machines, and remote desktops.

How LockDown Browser works when a student takes a test:

• Tests are displayed full-screen and cannot be minimized

• Browser menu and toolbar options are removed, except for Back, Forward, Refresh, and Stop

• Printing and screen capture functions are disabled

• Copying and pasting anything to or from a test is prevented

• Right-click menu options, function keys, keyboard shortcuts, and task switching are disabled

• A test cannot be exited until the student submits it for grading

• Tests that are set up for use with LockDown Browser cannot be accessed with other browsers.
