Respondus LockDown Browser (LDB)
Respondus LockDown Browser (LDB) is a custom web browser that locks down the testing environment within Canvas. When students use Respondus LDB they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. When an assessment is started, students are locked into it until they submit it for grading.

Respondus Monitor
Respondus Monitor is a companion product for LockDown Browser that enables institutions to protect the integrity of non-proctored, online exams. Students use their own computer and a webcam to record assessment sessions, all without leaving Canvas. Students start LockDown Browser, log into Canvas and complete a brief startup sequence prior to the exam. The student and the surrounding environment are recorded during the entire exam. Instructors can quickly review details of the assessment, and even watch the recorded video.
