Alternative to the Verity Browser Extension, the Verity Lockdown App offers additional test-integrity requirements for instructors to ensure a secure testing environment for their students. The browser will prevent students from viewing other applications on their device, provide stable recordings, and enforce strict measures to prevent common methods of bypassing proctor settings.
