The Respondus LockDown Browser provides exam security and helps reduce cheating by preventing test-takers from copying or printing quizzes, searching the computer or Internet for answers, or using other computer applications. Watch this video to find out how the LockDown Browser works: Introduction to Respondus LockDown Browser for Students.

If a quiz requires the LockDown Browser (LDB) and you are using your own computer, you must download and install the latest version of LDB (university computers often have LDB already installed). Visit the following Knowledge Base article, Canvas - Students - Respondus LockDown Browser - Install Respondus LDB on a Personal Computer for step- by-step instructions.

If you are using a university computer, LDB is often already installed. Follow these tep-by-step instructions: Canvas - Student - Respondus LockDown Browser – Use in Computer Lab.

Before you begin a quiz, you must launch the LockDown Browser from within Canvas. (DO NOT USE the desktop shortcut. Canvas does not use this shortcut; you can drag it to the Trash.) On the quiz instructions screen, scroll down to see and click the Launch LockDown Browser button.
