The Eduswitch Secure Lockdown Browser is a customized web browser that is built to provide a secure and controlled testing environment for online exams and assessments. It can be integrated with any assessment platform / LMS and is used by educational institutions and organizations to prevent cheating and ensure the integrity of online tests.
The user cannot move out of the exam window till the software is shut, hence ensuring students do not access the browser or other resources such as word documents, pdfs, etc.
Shortcuts for copy-paste have been disabled so students cannot paste text in the exam window or copy questions to paste after the exam ends.
Common screen sharing softwares such as Anydesk and TeamViewer are backlisted so students don't use unfair means by allowing their peers to give exams remotely on their behalf.
Screen sharing / recording softwares running in the background will not be able to access the exam window in order to record the screen using screen recording softwares, thus preserving the integrity of the question paper.
Screenshots of the exam window will not be visible.
If an external monitor is connected to the computer, the student will not be allowed to proceed with the test as he will be thrown an alert forcing the external monitor to be disconnected.
The secure browser exam software detects if its run from a virtual machine and throws an alert to the user, asking him / her not to use a virtual machine. Virtual machine usage for exams has become the most popular way of bypassing any restrictions imposed in ordinary exam software.
Using deep linking, one can open a URL (with authorization parameters) directly in the secure browser, thus removing the additional step of the user authenticating himself using a username / password or authentication key. This is not present in the current testing build but will be implemented if required.
We can integrate APIs hosted by you, in the secure browser to meet your unique workflows.
The software will be white labelled with your company's name and logo.
