LockDown Browser Students

What is LockDown Browser?

LockDown Browser is a locked browser for use with online quizzes in your courses. It prevents you from printing, copying, going to another URL, or accessing other applications during an online quiz. If a quiz requires that LockDown Browser be used, you will not be able to take the quiz with a standard web browser.
