  How to Complete a Quiz using Respondus Lockdown Browser & Monitor

  

  Respondus is a custom browser that creates a secure testing environment by locking down all windows and preventing access to all applications on the computer used for assessment. When Respondus is used, students are locked in this secure mode until they submit their tests for grading. At A-B Tech Respondus is integrated with Moodle. If your instructor is using Respondus LockDown Browser for testing, you will be asked to download it before the assessment. The link to download will be automatically provided with the assessment in Moodle on your course site or you can use one provided on this page. Once you download the LockDown Browser, you can use it for any course that requires it for testing.
