Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within Blackboard. Students are unable to copy, print, access other applications, or visit other websites during an online exam.
Note |

This tool requires students to download a separate application on their computers. A Chromebook extension for LockDown Browser is now available for assessments. Instructors will need to allow the use of LockDown Browser for Chromebook on a per exam basis. The Virtual Desktop Environment via web browser may be an alternative. |
