Lock Down Browser

[CorrineRaybuck]

How do I enable or download the lock down browser in order to take quizzes and exams?  Is there a specific app to download onto the iPad?

Hi @CorrineRaybuck ...

I *think* the way this still works is that your instructor would give you a unique URL to download the Lockdown Browser to your computer.  Then, you would use that installed browser to log in to Canvas to take your quiz/test/exam.  I found this information on Respondus' website:

LockDown Browser - Respondus

(Check out the video by clicking on the blue "Watch The Overview Video".)

Hope this helps a bit.  Sing out if you have any questions.

For Apple Devices, Respondus has an app available: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lockdown-browser/id659101775 

You would use this browser to sign into Canvas, and then start your quiz. Once the quiz starts, there are very few features available. Then, once complete, you can return to Safari or Chrome.
