Using Respondus Lockdown
Respondus Lockdown is a special web browser that can only be used to navigate to Brightspace for the purpose of taking a test or quiz. When you select Start on a quiz that has been configured by your instructor to use LDB, it launches LDB automatically and you will have limited access to your computer until you submit the quiz.
Using Respondus Monitor
Respondus Monitor is a function of the Respondus Lockdown Browser that uses your built-in laptop camera or connected webcam to record you while you are taking an exam. Monitor can be configured by your instructor to require you to capture a photo image of yourself, take a picture of their ID, require you to show the testing environment you are taking the exam, and validate your identity as you take the exam. Respondus Monitor flags suspicious behavior and uses advanced data analysis to determine which exam sessions require the greatest level of attention by instructors. Note: always install a new version of Lockdown Browser before you begin.
