What is LockDown Browser?

LockDown Browser® is a dedicated web browser crafted to secure the testing environment within educational management systems. Utilizing this software, over 2,000 higher education institutions uphold the integrity of online exams, making it a benchmark for maintaining academic honesty in both classroom and proctored situations. Its name, LockDown Browser, signifies its core purpose: it effectively restricts users by "locking down" the browser on devices like computers or tablets, which stops students from copying, printing, or navigating to other applications or websites during an online examination. Moreover, the browser is designed to combat a range of common and advanced cheating strategies, which includes blocking the use of Virtual Machines, remote desktop connections, and screen sharing, as well as preventing instant messaging, screen recording, and keystroke shortcuts. It also guards against launching applications equipped with timers or alerts, while addressing potential exploits related to browser cache and various other methods. This thorough and multi-faceted strategy for exam security not only preserves the integrity of online assessments but also fosters a culture of academic integrity among students, thereby enhancing the overall educational experience.

What is Kiosk Browser?

When setting up a device with our provisioning application, it is equipped with stringent security protocols. The Kiosk Browser assumes the "device owner" role, granting it superior permissions compared to a standard installation. This configuration allows the default launcher to be established automatically, eliminating the need for any user intervention. Furthermore, it restricts access to the status bar at the top of the screen through official channels instead of relying on workarounds. To begin the provisioning process, the device in question must either be newly purchased or have been reset to factory settings. This approach ensures that the Kiosk Browser cannot be uninstalled without a factory reset being performed. Additionally, it blocks the launch of any applications not visible in the app drawer, although those initiated through JavaScript are still operational. Ultimately, these precautions foster a secure and regulated environment for the Kiosk Browser, enhancing the overall user experience and safeguarding sensitive data. Such measures are essential for maintaining the integrity of the device's functions and security.
