Overview
Respondus LockDown Browser is a secure browser tool that prevents students from accessing external resources during proctored assessments administered in testing centers and computer labs (it is installed on Windows computers in the STCs). While taking assessments using LockDown Browser, students are unable to print, copy, go to other web pages, or access other applications. Once students start their assessments, they are locked into them until they submit them for grading. LockDown Browser is available for use in Canvas.
This Student Version of LockDown Browser w/Monitor uses a standard Windows or Mac installer. The download link provided is unique to Mercer University and can be used by faculty or students: Be sure you view the Quick Start Guide and follow the instructions for installing the software and also for taking an assessment. Click the link below to select your platform.
For information about proctoring fully online assessments, see About online proctoring at IU.
LockDown Browser displays assessments in full-screen windows; students cannot exit or minimize their assessment windows, switch tasks, or access other applications until they submit their assessments for grading. Additionally, LockDown Browser blocks or disables:
- Print, Print Screen, and capturing functions
- Copying and pasting content to and from assessments
- Messaging, screen-sharing, virtual machine, and network monitoring applications
- Right-click menu options and function keys
- Browser menus and toolbar options (except for Back, Forward, Refresh, and Stop)
Instructors need to edit the exam settings to allow iPads to access Respondus LockDown Browser. (Chromebooks can now access LockDown Browser with no instructor intervention.) Android tablets cannot use Respondus LockDown Browser.
Instructors: Set up LockDown Browser for use with a quiz in Canvas
- Create a quiz in Canvas. For more about quizzes in Canvas, see the Quizzes documentation in the Canvas Instructor Guide. If your quiz includes many high-resolution images and you are delivering it in a lab environment (computer classroom or the IUPUI Testing Center), choose Show one question at a time when setting up your quiz in Canvas. LockDown Browser does not cache images, and may fail to display images if many students request the same quiz at the same time on the same network subnet.
- In the course navigation on the left, click LockDown Browser. (If you don't see LockDown Browser, it may be hidden; to display it, use the instructions in How do I manage Course Navigation links?)
- Next to the quiz title, click the menu icon ( ), and then select Modify Settings.
- Select Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam.
- If students will be using their own devices, under 'Advanced Settings', choose Allow students to take this exam with an iPad (using the 'LockDown Browser' app from the Apple App Store).
- Set other options, if desired.
- Click Save & Close. Do not enable Respondus Monitor for your quiz; enabling Respondus Monitor will make your quiz inaccessible to your students. Although Respondus Monitor options appear on the LockDown Browser settings page, this companion service is not included as part of IU's institution-wide license for Respondus LockDown Browser.
Students: Use LockDown Browser for a quiz in Canvas
- Download and install LockDown Browser from the Respondus Download LockDown Browser page.
- When installation is complete, launch LockDown Browser. It should redirect automatically to the IU Canvas home page.
- If prompted, log in with your IU username and passphrase. Navigate to the appropriate quiz, and then click Take the Quiz.
- When you are finished and ready to submit the quiz for grading, click Submit Quiz.

Can a Chromebook be used with LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor? (Higher Ed) | |
A Chromebook extension for LockDown Browser is available for exams delivered in Canvas, Blackboard Learn, D2L Brightspace, Schoology and Moodle. This solution is for student-owned and also managed devices. The LockDown Browser Chromebook extension also supports Respondus Monitor (except in Schoology), an automated proctoring system used at over 1,000 colleges and universities. The Server Profile Setting The LockDown Browser for Chromebook setting is enabled by default for all Respondus Server profiles. This profile-level setting can be disabled, if desired, and doing so will prohibit Chromebooks from being used for any exam that requires LockDown Browser. Once you enable LockDown Browser to be used for a quiz, the LockDown Browser for Chromebook quiz-level setting is also automatically enabled....just like how it's done with LockDown Browser for Windows and Mac. Installing the Chromebook Extension To install the new extension to a student-owned Chromebook, students will need to use the regular LockDown Browser installation link for your school (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. Managed Chromebooks With managed Chromebooks, students will need to have the necessary permissions to install Chrome extensions, or the extension will need to be pushed to their Chromebooks via the Google Admin Suite. Instructions on how to do this can be found by logging on to Respondus Admin Area, and downloading the administrator guide titled 'Managed Chromebooks.' To obtain technical support, or to report a bug/issue, open a support ticket at https://support.respondus.com/ Known Issues Limitations and/or known issues with LockDown Browser for Chromebook: - Quiz passwords (specified via the 'optional password' field in the LockDown Browser Dashboard) aren’t currently supported for exams that use only LockDown Browser. For exams requiring Respondus Monitor, the optional password field is supported. - LockDown Browser’s Calculator and Spreadsheet features aren’t currently supported - The extended keyboard functions (for adding symbols and special characters) isn’t currently available - LockDown Browser’s “Help Center” is currently unavailable - 'Allow access to specific external web domains' option is currently not supported - (Brightspace) Pop-ups need to be enabled in Chrome for the server otherwise the student gets stuck on the 'Start Quiz' page. Please refer to this article. - (Canvas) “Google Chrome OS can’t open this page” error will occur. Click the 'close' button on the error, and you should be able to proceed. |
