Integrity Tools

LockDown Browser is a custom browser provided by Respondus that locks down the testing environment within the LMS to prevent unethical academic behavior. Students cannot print, copy, or navigate to another website—everything is locked down until the exam is submitted for grading. Students cannot access other applications when using LockDown Browser. This prevents them from viewing class notes, searching the Internet, accessing email, using instant messaging, and more.

Monitor is an additional webcam tool that can be used in tandem with the LockDown Browser tool. Monitor records students during their tests and monitors for certain activities. Students are required to use a webcam and microphone when Monitor is enabled. Once the test is completed, instructors can review the recording and are notified of any flagged activity in the recording.
