Respondus LockDown Browser
Respondus LockDown Browser™ is a secure browser for taking exams in Blackboard. It prevents you from printing, copying, going to another URL, or accessing other applications during an assessment. If a Blackboard exam requires that Respondus LockDown Browser be used, the exam won’t be accessible with a standard web browser.
Respondus LockDown Browser should only be used for taking examinations in Blackboard. It should not be used in other areas of Blackboard.
For more information, please read the Respondus LDB Student Guide.
Respondus LockDown Browser should only be used for taking Blackboard exams and assessments. Continue to use a regular browser for all other areas of the Blackboard course.
