How do I give an open book quiz using Lockdown Browser?

You can provide your students resources to refer to while taking a quiz either using Lockdown Browser alone or in conjunction with Respondus Monitor.

If your resources for the quiz are located on Canvas they will need to be moved to https://tufts.app.box.com/

At this time, Lockdown browser cannot accomodate students accessing resources via Canvas as this can break the lockdown nature of the exam.

Create a Quiz in Canvas

You can use either a New Quiz or Classic quiz to create an open book quiz. Tufts recommends using Canvas New Quizzes for ease of student use when possible.

In a Canvas New Quiz: Select Build

You will add your resources to the instructions box found on the "Build" page in a Canvas New Quiz.

In a Canvas Classic Quiz add your resources to the quiz instructions on the main settings page

Go to https://tufts.app.box.com/ and locate the file you want students to have access too

Select the Share icon (arrow) to open the window to copy the direct link to the file.

You will want these set to "People with the link" "Can view Only"

This will ensure there will not be any access issues for the students.

Click Copy

Head back to your Canvas Quiz Instructions box

Unnamed Quiz

Paste your link to the "Link" box and add your resource name to the "Text" box then click Done

You can add as many resources as you would like the students to have access too.

NOTE: Each file opened requires additional bandwidth. It may take a minute for the file to populate in the other tab for the student to access. Please inform your students of this possibility and to only open up the tabs they need and to refer to
