What Is Lockdown Browser In Canvas

The version of Lockdown Browser available in Rutgers Canvas and Sakai is different than the version from Rutgers Blackboard. If you need to use Lockdown Browser to take an exam or quiz in both Rutgers Blackboard and Canvas/Sakai, then you will need to install two versions of the application on your computer. Then download and install LockDown Browser. Setup To ensure LockDown Browser and the webcam are set up properly, do the following: Start LockDown Browser, log into uab.instructure.com, and select this course. Locate and select the Help Center button on the LockDown Browser toolbar. Run the Webcam Check and, if necessary, resolve any issues. Hello @psnea001 Welcome to the Canvas Community. Thank you for posting your question. The Respondus Lockdown Browser is not a browser that you can just go out to Google, search for, and download. If you are a student, you would normally get a unique URL from your instructor to download the browser to your computer.
