Respondus LockDown Browser
Description
LockDown Browser® is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment when taking an assessment in MyClasses. When an assessment is started, students are locked into it until they submit it for grading. Some faculty will also require the use of a WebCam while using LockDown Browser® for student verification during online assessments.
