It can also include a second recording device, such as a phone or other webcam if the instructor selected that option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canvas has two quiz tools. Your instructor could be using either. While the same download works for both, you will access it differently depending on the type of quiz you are taking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two quiz types are New Quizzes and Classic Quizzes. These function differently. Most of your quizzes will be new quizzes and will automatically open the LDB when you select the quiz in the course. If it is a classic quiz, you will need to open LDB separately and access Canvas and then go to the course and select the quiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Student Quick Start Guides<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-compact-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HE-Student-QSG.pdf\">For New Quizzes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HE-Student-Manual-QSG.pdf\">For Classic Quizzes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-compact-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.respondus.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4409607231003-How-do-I-install-LockDown-Browser\">Installing LockDown Browser on Windows, Mac, or Chromebook<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.respondus.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4409607211163-Can-an-iPad-be-used-to-take-a-LockDown-Browser-exam-instructions-for-students\">Installing LockDown Browser on an iPad<\/a> (<em>faculty must allow this option in their settings<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/lockdownbrowser\/resources\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/web.respondus.com\/he\/lockdownbrowser\/resources\/\">System Requirements for LockDown Browser<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/respondus.com\/knowledgebase\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/respondus.com\/knowledgebase\">Search the Respondus knowledge base<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.respondus.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/support.respondus.com\/\">Submit a ticket to Respondus&#8217; Help Desk<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mtsu-blocks-expandable-item accordion-item expandable-heading expandable-heading-lightblock\"><h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"headinginstalling-ldb-videos\"><button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapsenewExpandableinstalling-ldb-videos\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapsenewExpandableinstalling-ldb-videos\">Installing LDB (Videos)<\/button><\/h2><div id=\"collapsenewExpandableinstalling-ldb-videos\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse expandable-content expandable-content-lightblock\" aria-labelledby=\"headinginstalling-ldb-videos\" data-bs-parent=\"#newExpandable\"><div class=\"accordion-body\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing LockDown Browser on Your Computer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will be able to get the LockDown Browser application by going to the course where it is required.
