Some courses use Respondus LockDown Browser to proctor exams in Brightspace. Respondus LockDown Browser is a locked browser that prevents you from printing, copying, going to another URL, or accessing other applications during a test. Your instructor will let you know if you should use this and how it works. 

We have step-by-step instructions on our Brightspace Quizzes LibGuide page: https://libguides.madisoncollege.edu/technology/brightspace-quizzes#s-lg-box-wrapper-39444064 Note that you will not be able to download and install the Respondus LockDown Browser yourself on a College-loaned laptop. Instead follow the instructions under College-loaned Laptops on the above LibGuide page to install the required software and take your exam.
