The iPad Edition of "LockDown Browser" available from the Apple App Store enables a student to use an iPad to take exams that require LockDown Browser. However, your instructor must first select a setting that permits the use of iPads for the exam and your school's learning management system must be compatible. The LockDown Browser iPad app is not compatible with Sakai LMS servers. All Sakai users will need to use a computer with a compatible operating system. More details can be seen here.

A student should follow these steps to take an exam with the iPad Edition of LockDown Browser if their professor used a NEW QUIZ. Your professor should be able to tell you which type of Quiz it is based on their view of the following:

Note: The first time the app is used, you will be prompted to set it up. Click “Setup” (shown below), then select your institution (St. John’s University) and server (Canvas Prod). If you later need to change the institution or server, select the settings icon on the toolbar for the LockDown Browser app.
