Respondus LockDown Browse 2.0

Respondus LockDown Browser by Respondus is a specialized web browser designed to secure online testing within popular learning management systems. When a student begins an assessment, the browser runs in full-screen and restricts the device so the exam remains the sole focus. It blocks printing, copying, screen captures, messaging, and web navigation; prevents switching to other applications or opening additional tabs/windows; and disables right-click menus and keyboard shortcuts until the test is submitted. Instructors can allow approved tools such as a built-in calculator or spreadsheet and can pair the browser with Respondus Monitor for webcam-based proctoring.

Key points:

• Integrates with LMS platforms such as Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace (D2L), Moodle, and Schoology.
• Available for Windows and macOS, with institution-enabled options for iPad and managed Chromebooks.
• Typically installed via a school-specific download link or preinstalled in campus labs.
• Supports accessibility needs through the LMS and compatible assistive technologies.
• Used by K–12 and higher education to help preserve exam integrity outside traditional testing centers.

Overall, Respondus LockDown Browser provides a controlled, distraction-resistant environment for online quizzes and high-stakes exams.
