All locked up!

Not your test in Blackboard but your student’s ability to access information on their computer while taking a test.  Lockdown browsers when run on a computer prevents the student from printing, copying, screen capturing a test.  Students are also unable to navigate to other locations within their Course Management System or on the Internet.  Securexam is one type of lockdown browser being used by some departments and the university is also looking at Respondus LockDown browser.  Contact OET if you would like to see a demo of either of these lockdown systems.
