LockDown Browser is a secure, custom web browser designed to protect the integrity of online exams by creating a controlled testing environment. When activated, it displays assessments in full-screen mode that cannot be minimized or exited until submission, removing all browser menu and toolbar options except for essential navigation. The browser blocks access to other applications, messaging, screen-sharing, virtual machines, and remote desktops, ensuring students cannot use unauthorized resources during an exam. Printing, screen capture, copying, and pasting are all disabled, as are right-click menus, function keys, keyboard shortcuts, and task switching. Students are prevented from accessing assessments with any browser other than LockDown Browser, and cannot exit the test before submitting it for grading. These features make LockDown Browser a trusted solution for maintaining exam security in both classroom and proctored environments, and it can be paired with Respondus Monitor for automated webcam proctoring in non-proctored settings.
