[Athen] [EXT] Using Respondus Lockdown Browser

[Robert Spangler]

Interesting, I wonder what difference having the password makes.  Does this
enable the unrestricted mode?  I've been advised in the past that using
unrestricted mode permits AT software to work, but I'm pleased that this
actually is not necessary; by disabling the dictation box in Dragon, it can
work during a standard exam. No adjustments are required for NVDA.  I will
report back on my findings with JAWS once I get around to testing it.
