Respondus Lockdown Browser is a special browser for Windows, Mac, and iPad that locks down a computer when students take an assessment, so they are unable to access other applications, browsers, and computer menus. There is also a "Monitor" feature which instructors may utilize where the computer web cam and microphone are used to deliver online proctoring.

Quick Tips

If you are a student and your instructor will be using the Respondus Lockdown Browser for your class, start with the following steps:

Install the UNO-specific version of the browser - UNO Respondus Lockdown Browser
Launch the Respondus Lockdown Browser first and use it to log into Canvas when you're ready to take a quiz
