LockDown Browser Settings

This article explains how to control the browser settings by following the steps below: 

• In the LockDown Browser settings, click the Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam option.
  
  
  
• Expand the Advanced Settings section to see the setting.
  
  
  
• The settings and its explanation are illustrated below:

1. Lock students into the browser until the exam is completed: Prevents students from exiting the browser before submitting the exam.
   
   Note:

   Due to potential technical issues, especially connectivity problems during exams, students may be forced to shut down their computers if this setting is enabled. Instead, it is recommended to leave this option unchecked. If students attempt to exit LockDown Browser, the system will prompt them for a justification, which instructors can review in their reports.

2. iPad is now enabled for all LockDown Browser exams by default. However, the LockDown Browser app should be installed on the iPad to access the exam through it.
3. Allow access to specific external web domain:To allow students to view a webpage during the exam, enable this option and enter the desired link. Students will be able to view that specific page but not navigate to other pages within the same website. 
   Note:

   To allow students access to the webpage during the exam, the link must be added as a clickable hyperlink within the quiz question. Enabling domain access alone is not sufficient.

4. Enable calculator on the toolbar: To allow students to use a calculator during the exam, enable this option and select either a standard or scientific calculator. 
5. Enable printing from the toolbar: To allow students to print during the exam, enable this option to add a print button to the toolbar.
