LockDown Browser & Monitor

LockDown Browser is a customized browser that prevents students from printing, copying, browsing the web, or accessing other applications during an online assessment.

Monitor is a companion product for LockDown Browser that enables institutions to protect the integrity of non-proctored, online exams. Students use their own computer and a webcam to record assessment sessions, all without leaving Canvas. View resources below to assist you in implementing online proctoring in your class.

The LockDown Browser software has been installed in most FAU instructional and open labs. Students wishing to take an assessment requiring LockDown Browser from their own computer must first install the software (see installation links below).

Both the Windows and the Mac editions of the browser are based on Chromium, Google's open source framework. Students do NOT need Google's Chrome browser installed nor will this version affect a Chrome browser that's already installed.

Note: LockDown Browser should only be used for taking online exams and assessments. It should not be used to access other areas of Canvas.
