#Lockdown browser and respondus monitor license#

Up until now, itвЂ™s only been available in a limited capacity on Chromebooks, and only for those who have a license and the know-how to get it up and running. There is some debate on whether or not itвЂ™s necessary to use Respondus and whether itвЂ™s effective or too restrictive on a userвЂ™s device, and teachers are fairly split on it. This вЂњLockDown BrowserвЂќ keeps users locked into the testing environment so they canвЂ™t go and Google answers or cheat by asking another classmate via a messaging app, for example. Basically, it helps teachers and educational institutes prevent students from cheating on tests or becoming distracted with any applications other than the test itself. ItвЂ™s become known as the вЂњgold standardвЂќ for securing online exams in classrooms or supervised environments. Respondus is a company that creates products that allow schools to deliver online assessments to their students while ensuring the integrity of the results by wrapping the test environment in a learning management system.
