About Respondus LockDown Browser

Respondus LockDown Browser (RLDB) is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within Canvas. To accomplish this, RLDB does several things, such as:

  • displaying assessments in full-screen that cannot be minimized
  • removing the menu and toolbar options
  • preventing access to other applications
  • restricting other system features (copy/paste, print screen, right click, function keys, task switching, keyboard shortcuts)

RLDB can be downloaded by students onto their own computers. For instructors, Canvas quizzes can be configured using the Respondus tool available in each Canvas course.

Set Up a Practice Quiz (Recommended)

To ensure your first exam with RLDB runs smoothly, it’s recommended that you have students take an ungraded practice quiz that requires the use of LockDown Browser. Ideally, have students use the same computers/devices they'll later use with the graded quizzes, including the same network/Wi-Fi environment. The latter is especially important if you plan to have a large number of students starting the quiz simultaneously from a Wi-Fi network. Leave the practice quiz available for the duration of the semester, with unlimited attempts, so students can access it again if they use a different computer or Wi-Fi network.
