LockDown Browser (LDB)

LDB is an internet browser like Chrome, Firefox or Safari, but it’s designed for use when taking quizzes/tests. It limits you from searching the Internet or opening other applications. Some instructors require you to use LDB to take quizzes and tests to promote academic integrity.

Here’s a guide with steps on downloading and using LDB.
