When enabled by an instructor, RLDB limits actions such as opening other websites, taking screenshots, or exiting the browser during an assessment. RLDB sessions are not live‑proctored. Students must download and use the RLDB application to access required assessments, although most on‑campus computers already have RLDB installed.
