Secure and Lockdown Browser
TEKScore
eLearning:
Respondus® LockDown Browser is a tool for online assessments. It prevents students from printing, copying, and accessing other websites or applications while taking their test.
To use this feature at your school, three steps must be completed:
REQUEST ACCESS: A District Administrator must email DMAC Help Desk at support@dmac-solutions.net.
INSTALL REQUIRED SOFTWARE: Install the required software on any device students use to take assessments. They cannot launch the secure browser if the software isn’t installed. Please do this well in advance so students are not locked out of their devices when they are trying to take a test! Different software is available for Chromebooks, Windows, Macs, and iPads.
ENABLE SETTING ON EACH TEST KEY: Check the 'Require secure browser session' setting from the Online tab of each Test Key.
Software Installation | Secure Browser
Prior to administering an online test, install the Secure Browser on all devices students access.
From the Student Sign In page, click Secure Browser.
If the secure browser has not previously been installed, select the operating system to download (DMAC supports Chromebook, Windows, Mac and iPads).
Follow the installation steps (each vary based on the selected operating system).
**Please Note: If you have any issues downloading the software, please contact a technology person at your district.
Close and return to Secure Session screen.
Session Settings | Secure Browser
IMPORTANT: ‘Require secure browser’ must be checked from the Online tab of each test key you wish to use the secure browser during an online test.
The option to Allow students unlimited sign in attempts is automatically disabled with the secure browser.
If a student closes the secure browser before completing a test, teachers must utilize the Online Sessions section of TEKScore to reset their access to a test.
