Lockdown also suspends messaging, screen sharing, and screen capture services while the exam is active. Enabling Respondus Lockdown for one of your exams prevents test takers from using a standard browser to access that test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<strong>Note:<\/strong> Lockdown does not include monitoring features. If your assessment requires proctoring, Boise State&#8217;s virtual proctoring solution may be a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-recommended-use-cases\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Recommended Use Cases<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Respondus Lockdown is typically used in assessment labs, classrooms, and other monitored environments. When used with Canvas&#8217;s built-in exam restrictions, Lockdown can provide a suitable assessment environment for unproctored exams. Implementation examples for Respondus Lockdown include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use with exams administered in the classroom.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use with low to medium-stakes exams and quizzes.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use with Zoom or Google Meet running on students&#8217; mobile devices to administer instructor-proctored exams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use as a &#8220;back-up&#8221; option for devices that don&#8217;t meet Boise State&#8217;s virtual proctoring software technical requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refer to the provided sample syllabus information if you would like to include information about Respondus Lockdown in your syllabus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a class=\"c-btn c-btn--sm c-btn--border\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1knNMUqUJDPM4sKkMXBeIt1bH9t58gUcaqthDLtlsGNc\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sample Syllabus Information<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instructors are encouraged to schedule a consultation and training session before using Respondus Lockdown Browser&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1058,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1874","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.8 (Yoast SEO v28.8) -
