Aleks & Respondus LockDown Browser
Instructors may require students to take certain ALEKS assignments in Respondus LockDown Browser, which is a secure testing browser that restricts students from accessing other applications.
Respondus Monitor, a companion application for LockDown Browser, can also be required for assignments that require LockDown Browser. Respondus Monitor uses students' webcams to record a video as they complete the assignment, and flags suspicious activity for the institution or instructor to review.
Installation
When students begin an ALEKS assignment requiring LockDown Browser, the introduction page includes a link for students to launch LockDown Browser in order to begin, as well as a link to download LockDown Browser. *NOTE: It is not compatible with Chromebooks.
**You will need to install the ALEKS version of Lockdown Browser even if you already have a different version of LockDown Browser that’s used by your school on your device. You can have multiple versions of Lockdown browser installed on your computer. There is no need to uninstall other versions.
