Using Respondus LockDown Browser in Blackboard Original Course View

LockDown Browser is a specialized browser designed to secure the testing environment in Blackboard Learn. When students use LockDown Browser for taking Blackboard tests, they cannot print, copy, navigate to other websites, access other applications, or exit the test until it is submitted for grading. Additionally, tests intended for LockDown Browser cannot be accessed with regular browsers. While LockDown Browser operates similarly to a standard browser, some features have been removed or function differently.

To add LockDown Browser to an existing Blackboard exam:

1. Deploy a test in your course (NOTE: the test must be deployed to be selectable on the LockDown Browser Dashboard).
2. Click to expand Course Tools, then select Respondus LockDown Browser.
   
   
   
   
3. On the Respondus LockDown Browser Dashboard, click the arrow to the left of the name of the exam you wish to require LockDown Browser for and select Settings.
   
   
   
   
4. Under the LockDown Browser Settings, click the radio button next to Require Respondus LockDown Browser.
5. Next, you can configure settings on the Password Settings and Additional Settings menus. When you have completed this step to your liking, click Save + Close to save the changes.
