Quick question --- could a student copy and paste information before lockdown browser and hit control v when in lockdown browser?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Greetings @SaraMagretto ,
Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!
No, students usually are unable to copy and paste information from the normal browser prior to opening lockdown browser, then pasting it in there. LockDown Browser has this in place for academic integrity reasons.
Hope that helps!

Thank you!!
Is there any way to use LockDown Browser for essays where the student needs to cite their sources? I was hoping they could do all of their citations and then copy start the quiz then paste, is that a no? In this case (and I am not sure it matters), the text would be from a word document not a "browser"
