Selkirk College's trial for LockDown Browser expires June 30th, 2020.
Respondus LockDown Browser is a client application that is installed to a local computer. Both the Windows edition and the Mac edition of the browser are based on Google’s open source Chromium framework. Students do NOT need Google’s Chrome browser installed; nor will this version affect a Chrome browser that’s already installed.
LockDown Browser creates a “locked” quizzing environment for Moodle assessments and includes the following features:
- Assessments are displayed full-screen and cannot be minimized
- Assessments cannot be exited until submitted by users for grading
- Task switching or access to other applications is prevented
- Printing functions are disabled
- Print Screen and capturing functions are disabled
- Copying and pasting anything to and from an assessment is prohibited
- Right-click menu options are disabled (Windows); key + click options are disabled (Mac)
- Browser menu and toolbar options are disabled except Back, Forward, Refresh and Stop
- Function keys (F1-F12) are disabled
- Source code for the HTML page cannot be viewed
- URLs cannot be typed by the user
- Hundreds of screen capture, messaging, screen-sharing and network monitoring applications are blocked from running
- Links in questions that point to other servers don’t compromise the “locked” quizzing environment
- Pages from the assessment aren’t cached or stored in the browser’s history listing
And many other features...
- LockDown Browser is not intended to replace the browser used by faculty or students within Moodle.
- LockDown Browser is only intended for use by students while taking assessments that have been prepared for use with LockDown Browser.
- This browser has not been tested for use in other areas of Moodle.
