  • Lockdown prevents students from accessing other applications while in the lockdown app

  • Going to another URL (web page) while lockdown is open

  • All Printing and screen capture functions are disabled

  • Copying and pasting anything into the test or assessment is prevented

  • The assessment cannot be exited until the test is completed or submitted for grading.
