Benefits of using Lockdown and Respondus
- Locks Down The Testing Environment : LockDown Browser prevents digital cheating during online tests. Students cannot print, copy, or go to another website—everything is locked down until the exam is submitted for grading.
- Seamless Integration With Blackboard : LockDown Browser works seamlessly with learning management systems, including Blackboard Learn, Blackboard Learn Ultra, Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle, and Schoology
- Blocks Application Switching : Students can’t access other applications when using LockDown Browser. This prevents them from viewing class notes, searching the Internet, accessing email, using instant messaging, and more
- Protects Exam Questions : Significant time goes into preparing test questions, yet students routinely copy, share, and print the exams. LockDown Browser protects exam questions by blocking print functions keyboard shortcuts, copy-and-paste, and screen-capture programs.
- Increases Faculty Confidence in Online Testing : Some instructors resist online testing because they’re concerned students can easily cheat. LockDown Browser protects the integrity of online testing and gives faculty confidence in using it.
- Available for Windows, Mac, and iOS : LockDown Browser can be used on Windows, Mac, and iPad devices. This lets students use their preferred device to take exams.
