Respondus Lockdown Browser is an innovative software app that blocks students from accessing other applications or websites during an online exam, helping instructors ensure students are thinking independently during assessments. Furthermore, this tool also enables instructors to block unauthorized keyboard shortcuts used as cheating devices during an exam session.
Instructors can design a quiz or test in their Canvas course that requires students to use Respondus Lockdown Browser, and post instructions for its installation on their course website. Furthermore, instructors may link directly to the Student Quick Start Guide as further support.
The Lockdown Browser supplements but does not replace the role of proctors during on-campus exams at Indiana University as described in “Online Proctoring at IU.” Likewise, take-at-home exams do not work with it. In order to use it effectively, students need an ethernet connection; when launched, the browser automatically checks for updates; any problems may require students to download and install updates manually.
Preparation
There are a range of modern online tools designed to monitor examinee desktop activity, verify identity, provide audio/video proctoring sessions and record test sessions – some are free while others require subscription fees – so choose one that best meets your needs and budget.
For optimal Exam Performance, students should arrive at their test site with fully charged batteries and an Internet connection (preferably Ethernet) that’s stable enough. Furthermore, make sure any hats that cover over your forehead have been taken off prior to using LockDown Browser; additionally it would be wise to bring earbuds and snacks for convenience.
Install any required Respondus tools well in advance of their quiz or exam to allow themselves enough time to troubleshoot any issues they encounter during testing, following any instructions provided by their instructor for troubleshooting steps. It is also advisable that students try using LockDown Browser prior to taking graded exams so they are familiar with its functionality and resolve any technical difficulties more efficiently.
Time Management
If you are taking a proctored exam requiring Respondus LockDown Browser and Monitor, it is essential to plan out how to manage your time effectively in order to complete it uninterrupted. For example, waiting for programs to close or rebooting might prevent interruptions during an exam session. You should also understand all technical requirements associated with online proctored exams such as having webcam and Ethernet connectivity available to you.
First and foremost, make sure your laptop has enough battery power for the duration of the exam and any necessary software updates have been installed before beginning it. In case any technical difficulties prevent completion of an exam, your proctor will be informed and can grant additional time if necessary. In addition, take a practice exam prior to sitting the proctored exam to become familiar with its software and understand its requirements.

First step to using Respondus Monitor effectively is downloading and installing Respondus LockDown Browser with webcam (if required). Students may access this download link directly through their instructor or institution or indirectly within their learning system via tests that require it.
Once installed, students should launch LockDown Browser by clicking a link in their test or their learning system’s course menu. Following a brief system checkup, students can take online tests without printing, copying or opening additional applications during their exam – the browser may only be closed after they have submitted it for grading.
