WHAT IS RESPONDUS LOCKDOWN BROWSER?
LockDown Browser is a locked browser for taking quizzes in eLearning. It prevents you from printing, copying, going to another URL, or accessing other applications during an assessment. If a quiz requires that LockDown Browser be used, you will not be able to take the quiz with a standard web browser.
LockDown Browser should only be used for taking eLearning quizzes. It should not be used in other areas of eLearning.
