WHAT IS RESPONDUS LOCKDOWN BROWSER?

LockDown Browser is a locked browser for taking tests
in Blackboard Learn. It prevents you from printing, copying,
going to another URL, or accessing other applications during
a test. If a Blackboard test requires that LockDown Browser
be used, you will not be able to take the test with a standard
web browser.
LockDown Browser should only be used for taking
Blackboard tests. It should not be used in other areas of
Blackboard.


INSTALLING LOCKDOWN BROWSER

If LockDown Browser has already been installed, skip to the
next section. If not, LockDown Browser must be installed to
each computer (Windows or Mac) being used to take a test.

TAKING A TEST

  1. Close all programs, unless one is used to connect you to
    the Internet.
  2. Locate the “LockDown Browser” shortcut on the desktop
    and double-click it.(For Mac users, launch “LockDown
    Browser” from the Applications folder.)
  3. If prompted, either close a blocked program (e.g. screen
    capture, instant messaging) by choosing Yes. Or, close
    LockDown Browser and close the blocked program
    before restarting.
  4. Log into Blackboard.
  5. Navigate to the test within the course and select Begin
    Exam.
  6. The test will then start. (Note, once a test has been
    started with Respondus LockDown Browser, you cannot
    exit until the Submit button is clicked.)


Some Tips

Finally, when taking an online exam, follow these guidelines:

      • Select a location where you won't be interrupted
      • Before starting the test, know how much time is available for it, and that you've allotted sufficient time to complete it
      • Turn off all mobile devices, phones, etc. and don't have them within reach
      • Clear your area of all external materials — books, papers, other computers, or devices
      • Remain at your desk or workstation for the duration of the test
      • LockDown Browser will prevent you from accessing other websites or applications; you will be unable to exit the test until all questions are completed and submitted
