Respondus LockDown Browser

What is Respondus LockDown Browser?

Respondus LockDown Browser is a secure browser for taking quizzes and exams in Moodle. It prevents you from printing, copying, or accessing other applications and websites during a quiz. If a Moodle quiz requires LockDown, you will not be able to take the quiz with a standard web browser. LockDown should only be used for taking Moodle quizzes; it should not be used in other areas of Moodle.

If your instructor requires LockDown, you will be provided with that information and a link in Moodle.  The link is specific to Southeast Community College.
