Is Respondus LockDown Browser recommended for D2L Quizzes taken by students at home?

No, Respondus LockDown Browser is not recommended for D2L Quizzes taken by students at home.

Respondus LockDown Browser can be downloaded and used on home computers, but there isn’t a good reason to require it for at-home quizzes. Respondus LockDown Browser will only restrict the machine the student is taking the quiz on, and not their phone, tablet, friend, other computer, etc. that might also be available to them. So, requiring Respondus LockDown Browser on an at-home quiz is an unnecessary step that will likely cause additional complications without resolving any cheating concerns.
