Respondus LockDown Browser

Applies to: Instructors, Students, Canvas, Respondus LockDown

The LockDown Browser + Canvas is SMU's secure exam management solution that enables faculty to administer online quizzes and exams in Canvas while restricting access on those devices to the Internet, applications, or other networked resources. During an exam period, the test taker's computer or iPad is restricted to accessing the Canvas quiz only. Once a test is submitted, all communications and programs on the device are unlocked and restored.  Canvas quizzes are fully encrypted and can only be accessed using SMU Canvas along with the LockDown Browser client application.
