Tips for Using Respondus Lockdown Browser 

Be careful of navigating too quickly through the LMS home page and course before the web pages are fully loaded.  It is important for students to close all standard browsers, start LockDown Browser only, log into Canvas, *wait* until the Canvas home page fully loads (no spinning circle in the browser tab), navigate to the course, *wait* until the course home page fully loads (no spinning circle in the browser tab), then go to the Quizzes or Modules area to start the direct link to the exam with "-Requires Respondus LockDown Browser" in the quiz title. Students should not use any "shortcut" or "notifications link" in the Canvas home page or course home page.

If the deadline for an exam is near, the student should locate another computer, Mac or Windows, with LockDown Browser, possibly on an alternate network. There is also LockDown Browser for iPad, if allowed by the instructor.
