LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor

LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment in Blackboard Learn. When students use LockDown Browser to take a Blackboard test, they are unable to print, copy, go to other websites, access other applications, or close a test until it is submitted for grading. Tests created for use with LockDown Browser cannot be accessed with standard browsers, either.


To use LockDown with a quiz or exam in Blackboard, the assessment must be made visible/available BEFORE linking it to LockDown. Once it's linked, you can then set the dates and hide the assessment.
