Next Gen Math supports a secure browser powered by Respondus LockDown Browser. If students use district-managed devices and cannot install apps or extensions, district IT may need to deploy the secure browser for them.
The secure browser only needs to be installed once per device. After installation, students can launch secure assignments from Next Gen Math.
Technical details
- LockDown Browser is a client application installed on the student device.
- The Windows version is based on Chromium. Google Chrome does not need to be installed, and LockDown Browser does not modify an existing Chrome installation.
- Windows 10 and 11 in S mode are not supported.
- During a secure assignment, it limits actions such as opening other websites or applications, copying, and printing.
