Download Respondus Lockdown Browser
Preparing a Test
To set up a test in Blackboard that requires students to use LockDown Browser, follow these steps:
- Make sure the test has been deployed in the Blackboard course.
- From the Control Panel in Blackboard, locate the Course Tools section and select the link Respondus LockDown Browser.
- A list of deployed tests will be displayed.
- Tests labeled with “Required” require students to use LockDown Browser. Tests labeled with “Not Required” don’t require LockDown Browser.
- To change the settings for the test, select Modify Settings from the context menu to the left of the test title and select the desired option.
Optionally you may enter a test password that students must enter to start the test. LockDown Browser will prompt students to enter the instructor-provided password before proceeding with the test.
- The first setting will prevent students from exiting the browser until the exam is completed. This is sometimes used in testing centers where a proctor can enter a password to exit an exam early.
- The second setting will allow students to take the exam with an iPad, using the free LockDown Browser app.
- The third setting will allow specific students to access the exam with screen reader accessibility programs. For additional information, select the [explain] link that follows each setting.
- Click Save and Close to apply settings.
