Respondus locked Browser™是一个自定义浏览器，用于锁定Blackboard中的测试环境。 当学生使用Respondus锁定浏览器时，他们无法打印、复制、转到另一个URL或访问其他应用程序。 当 an assessment is started, students are locked into it until they submit it for grading. 

Supports Windows, Mac OS X 10.13to 13.0+, iOS 11.0+ iPad only and ChromeOS "Stable" channel. Lockdown Browser/Monitor is not compatible with Pixelbook laptops and will not install or run.
