  • Students can use the lockdown browser for Windows, Mac, or the new Chromebook Extension.
    • Lockdown Browser for iPad does not directly support this option, but similar results can be achieved if a second device is used.
  • Students should have the latest version of the lockdown browser.
  • Live Proctoring and Respondus Monitor cannot be used at the same time.
  • Only recommended for small classes as the instructor must:
    • manage the logistics of getting students logged into the video conference system,
    • take attendance,
    • watch students during the exam,
    • and track whether students leave the video conferencing session.
    • This can be challenging if the class size is more than 20-25 students.
