Respondus LockDown Browser
In addition to using Respondus 4.0 to publish exams to Blackboard, it is now possible to publish an exam in Blackboard using a lock-down browser feature. Respondus LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment. Students access their Blackboard exam using the Respondus LockDown Browser and will be unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access areas of the course or other applications. This provides another layer of security for some of the most common types of digital cheating and will also eliminate the accidental or early exiting from online exams which is a common problem with online testing.
For more information about the Respondus LockDown Browser and other online testing strategies contact the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning.
