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.
