What is Respondus LockDown Browser?
LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment in Brightspace.
When students use LockDown Browser to access a quiz, they are unable to print, copy,
visit other websites, access other applications, or close a quiz until it is submitted
for grading. Quizzes created for use with LockDown Browser cannot be accessed with
standard browsers. LockDown Browser works much like a standard browser, but some options
have been removed or work differently.
What is Respondus Monitor?
Respondus Monitor is a webcam feature for LockDown Browser that records students during online, non-proctored quizzes. When this feature is enabled for a quiz, students are required to use a webcam and microphone with LockDown Browser. After the quiz is complete, an instructor can review details of the assessment, and even view the recorded videos.
