Respondus LockDown Browser (RLDB) is a custom web browser that locks students into their online testing environment for the duration of an exam. Respondus Monitor builds upon LockDown Browser to provide fully automated proctoring. Both tools provide an added layer of security so that students are deterred from cheating. Instructors can activate these tools when setting up their assessment in Blackboard.
