Answer
JMU's instance of Respondus LockDown Browser is available for download at https://download.respondus.com/lockdown/download.php?id=338212896
To set a Quiz/Exam in Canvas to require the use of LockDown Browser, first ensure that LockDown Browser is available on the Navigation Bar on the left side of your Canvas Course.

If this button is not available, navigate to your Course Settings, click on the Navigation tab, and click and drag the "LockDown Browser" button to the upper section of buttons.
Once within this LockDown Browser menu, click the drop-down arrow next to the Quiz/Exam that you would like to require the use of LockDown Browser and click "Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam". Here you also have the option to turn on Respondus Monitor, an automated proctor software that monitors a student's work area via their webcam. Once you have chosen your preferred options, click Save and Close.
Your Quiz is now configured to be taken within LockDown Browser! It will not be accessible within a normal browser, and students will be directed to open the Quiz/Exam within LockDown Browser.
