Prevent Cheating with Respondus Lockdown Browser
Respondus Lockdown Browser is a premium browser designed to prevent cheating in online classes, utilized by over a hundred educational institutions. Integrated with platforms like Blackboard and Canvas, it is a leading anti-cheating tool for learning management systems. The two-month free trial allows institutions to explore its features before committing to an annual license.
This software effectively stops various cheating methods by locking down a student's computer, restricting access to websites, capturing screenshots, and limiting browser actions. It disables task switching, right-clicking, screen recording, and screen-sharing, ensuring a secure testing environment. Despite its effectiveness, the steep cost of the annual license and occasional crashes may pose challenges.
