System requirements
What is a lockdown browser?
A lockdown browser is a separate web browser or an app within an existing browser that prevents a candidate from accessing other applications or websites during an online exam or an assessment.
Managing computer access
Safeguarding examination integrity
Supporting the digitisation surge
Why use a lockdown browser?
The purpose of a lockdown browser is to allow faculty and administration to control the exam environment to match exam regulations.
Does a lockdown browser record you?
A lockdown browser will not by itself record a candidate during their exam. However, a lockdown browser can be combined with a proctoring solution which allows invigilators the additional security associated with real-time monitoring of test-takers.
The capabilities of a lockdown browser also depend on the product's features. Data privacy should also be considered. It's important to review all the technical documentation and the privacy policy before using a lockdown browser for online exams.
What are the benefits of a lockdown browser?
Using a lockdown browser comes with many benefits. Specifically, using a lockdown browser can:
Prevent misconduct during an online exam
By restricting access to other websites and applications during the exam. Additional features include print restrictions and save/copy restrictions.
Enhance online exam security
Parity
What are the challenges associated with using a lockdown browser?
Lockdown browsers come with many benefits, but there are also a few challenges to consider:
Privacy
A lockdown browser or application for an existing browser may collect data such as keystrokes even when an exam is not being conducted. Have an understanding of what a browser collects, when and how to be confident when installing it.
Compatibility
Restrictive if not customisable
Trusted the world over

Eventually, digital exams will become the norm. I think it will happen, the only question is when.
