How does a student download lockdown browser needed for a quiz when it does not appear in the menu on the Canvas home page?
Hi @LauraDiPietro1,
When Respondus LockDown Browser is used with a Canvas quiz, after the student clicks on the "Take the Quiz" button, the student will be presented with a notice that Respondus LockDown Browser is required and it will include a download link. The message will look something like what is provided below.
The download link will be specific to your institution. If the student is using a Chromebook, they will be directed to the Chrome web store. If the student is using an iPad, a webpage will appear with additional information and a link to download the app from Apple's App Store.
Since the download link is specific to each institution (with the exception of the downloading for a Chromebook or an iPad), some institutions will share the download link with their faculty and students, posting it in a central location for everyone to find.
Does this help you?

Hey @LauraDiPietro1
If the LockDown Browser isn’t showing up in the Canvas menu, there are a couple of things you can try. First, check if your instructor has posted a link or instructions for downloading it somewhere in the course (like in the Announcements or a module).
If it’s not there, you can visit the LockDown Browser download page directly. Just search for “LockDown Browser download” in your browser, and it should take you to the right place where you can download it for your computer.
Let me know if that works or if you need help finding the link!
Is there a way to show only the overall grade a submission received? We have students rotate through a set of assignments over a few weeks and would like to give them an overall grade as soon as possible. But we want to hide the specific feedback until everyone has done a particular assignment. I have found the grade…
A faculty has the results of an ungraded anonymous survey in their course. They want to export the data to perform analysis / share with other faculty. Is there anyway to do achieve this?
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
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". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
