Respondus LockDown Browser & Monitor

Respondus Lockdown Browser (RLB)

RLB is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within the learning management system (i.e. Canvas.) This is a downloadable application that is installed on your local computer and provides a customized user interface within your internet browser. It does not modify existing browser(s), but installs a separate program that will display a custom browser when the RLB application is launched. This application uses the same security features and service packs for the internet browser(s) already installed on your local computer. It is not intended to replace the browser used by faculty or students with Canvas. It is only intended for use by students while taking assessments that have been prepared for use with Respondus LockDown Browser.

Respondus Monitor

Monitor builds upon the power of Lockdown Browser, using a student's webcam and industry-leading video analytics to prevent cheating during non-proctored exams.
