I have been told by our school ITS personnel that Respondus Lockdown Browser only locks the student into Canvas. In other words, it does not lock them into just the page with the quiz that employs the Lockdown Browser. Is my understanding correct?
It depends on how IT configured Respondus Lockdown Browser.
Normally, the assignment that is set up for Respondus Lockdown Browser is the only thing the students can access in that window.
It is possible to set up Respondus Lockdown Browser so that the student can do other things in that one browser window, but almost nobody sets it up that way.
The only way to know for sure is to set up a quiz and ask a student to take it. See what they can and can not do, while resetting the Lockdown Browser. Be aware that students are skittish about Respondus Lockdown Browser and will not want to try things that can get them flagged.
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic".

But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
