Student Copy of Respondus LockDown Browser Free: A Secure Way to Take Exams

When students use Respondus LockDown Browser, they are able to take exams in a secure environment that prevents any unauthorized activities. This customized browser is designed to increase the security of test delivery in Canvas and ensures that assessments are taken without distractions.

One of the key features of Respondus LockDown Browser is its ability to prevent students from printing, copying, or accessing other applications during an exam. Additionally, pages from the assessment are not cached or stored in Internet Explorer's history listing, which means that students cannot access previous questions or answers during the test.

Another important feature of this browser is its ability to block external links and prevent them from compromising the 'locked' testing environment. This ensures that students cannot access unauthorized websites or applications during an exam.

Respondus LockDown Browser also includes a range of other security features, including:

* Automatic login: The browser automatically starts at the login page for the institution's course management system.

* Blocked applications: Screen capture, messaging, screen-sharing, virtual machine, and network monitoring applications are blocked from running during an exam.

* Restricted access: Browser menu and toolbar options are disabled, except for Back, Forward, Refresh, and Stop. This means that students cannot access other functions or features during an exam.

* Copying and pasting prohibited: Students are unable to copy and paste anything into or out of an assessment during an exam.

* Print screen and capturing functions disabled: Students are unable to use the print screen function or capture any images during an exam.

* Task switching prevented: Students cannot access other applications or switch between tasks during an exam.

* Assessments displayed full-screen: Exams are displayed in full-screen mode, which means that students cannot minimize or resize the window.

Overall, Respondus LockDown Browser provides a secure and distraction-free environment for taking exams. By preventing unauthorized activities and blocking external links, this browser ensures that students can take their exams without worrying about distractions or cheating.
