Several Advanced Settings are available:
- The first setting will prevent students from exiting
the browser until the exam is completed. This is
sometimes used in testing centers where a proctor
can enter a password to exit an exam early.
- The second setting will allow students to take
the exam with an iPad, using the free LockDown
Browser app.
- The third setting will allow students to access
a list of specified web domains during the test.
The fourth and fifth settings allow instructors to
provide students with a calculator or print function
in the LockDown Browser toolbar.
- For additional information, select the [explain] link
that follows each setting.
Click Save and Close to apply settings.
