Respondus Lockdown Browser + Monitor
Lockdown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment in Canvas. Monitor is an additional feature that may be used in conjunction with Lockdown Browser. Monitor requires students use a webcam to record their testing session. Instructors may review Monitor videos following student exams.
Students are required to download and install Lockdown Browser on their personal computers. Please add the download link to your syllabus if you intend to use Lockdown Browser in your course. Create an ungraded practice quiz in your course so students may test their system with Lockdown Browser prior to completing a graded exam.

Student Edition
Students may download Lockdown Browser for their personal computers using UTA's unique link.
Students using Chromebooks
To install the new extension to a student-owned Chromebook, students will need to use the regular LockDown Browser installation link for UTA (they will NOT be able to search for the app directly from the Chrome web store.) The LockDown Browser installation link will direct students to the Chrome web store, at which point they should select “Add to Chrome” to install the LockDown Browser Extension.
Lab Edition
A special version of Lockdown Browser is available for use in computer lab settings. Lab Administrators may submit a Service Now request for CDE to obtain the most recent version.
Respondus 4.0
Respondus 4.0 is a powerful tool for creating and managing exams that can be printed to paper or published directly to Canvas. Exams can be created offline using a familiar Windows environment, or moved from one LMS to another. Whether you are a veteran of online testing or relatively new to it, Respondus will save you hours on each project.
To download the software to your computer and review additional information, please visit the Respondus 4.0 course on Canvas.

You can require students to take your Carmen quizzes with the Respondus LockDown Browser to create a more secure testing environment. The LockDown Browser is not intended to replace other browsers for regular Carmen use.
The LockDown Browser can be used in a lab or classroom equipped with computers or by students using their own laptops. The LockDown Browser is available in many university labs. Both Windows and Mac versions of the LockDown Browser are available for downloading. We do not recommend that students be asked to use LockDown Browser when they are taking online quizzes outside of a proctored situation.
When students take your Carmen quizzes and exams with the LockDown Browser, they will be unable to:
Print or copy
Take screenshots of questions
Type in another URL (web address)
Access other applications (such as chat tools or another browser)
Although LockDown Browser provides enhanced security for quizzes and tests, this is true mainly when the quiz is taken in a computer lab or classroom. LockDown Browser will not catch students using multiple computers. Additionally, when used on an unstable wireless connection, LockDown may cause the students' computers to freeze when internet is lost.

Please consider carefully whether the benefits of using LockDown are worth the burden of it. This is true for both the students and instructors. Instructors will need to re-set quiz attempts after students lose connectivity or experience other unexpected problems and must abandon their quiz.
If students attempt to take a locked quiz on a computer without LockDown installed, the link to download LockDown will show after they click the link to start the quiz but before they actually enter the quiz. We recommend informing students ahead of time that the LockDown Browser will be required and that installing this browser won't modify their current version browsers in any way.
For individual installations, download the LockDown browser version for Ohio State using the following link: http://www.respondus.com/lockdown/information.pl?ID=462913331. Other links will only work for other institutions.
Beginning with LockDown Browser version 2.0.3.05, existing installs of LockDown Browser will NOT be auto-updated at this time. To obtain the latest version use the Check for Update feature or run the full installation program.
If you are a Computer Lab Manager and need to install the lab version of LockDown Browser on multiple computers, please contact carmen@osu.edu.
Quizzes are displayed full screen and cannot be minimized.
Copying and pasting anything to and from a quiz is prohibited.
Right-click menu options are disabled. Browser menu and toolbar options are disabled, except for Back, Forward, Refresh and Stop. Function keys are disabled.
The source code for the HTML page cannot be viewed.
More than 250 screen capture, messaging, screen-sharing, and network monitoring applications are blocked from running.
External sites may be included in your quiz without compromising the 'locked' testing environment.
There is a button within the Browser that allows the insertion of special characters. These characters will be of most use to foreign language courses, though there are a few mathematical characters.
