Respondus LockDown Browser prevents students from opening other windows or applications on a computer during a test. By making it virtually impossible to receive email, navigate to other pages, or search the internet while taking a test, the integrity of the exam is preserved.

LockDown Browser can be used with Canvas quizzes (which could be a quiz, test, or other exam).
