Overview
Respondus is a Windows-based authoring tool that makes it easy to create and manage exams for Blackboard. Respondus LockDown Browser is a customized browser that increases the security of online testing in Blackboard. When students use Respondus LockDown Browser to take a Blackboard test, they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, access other applications, or close a test until it is submitted for grading. Tests created for use with Respondus LockDown Browser cannot be accessed with Standard browsers either.
Respondus LockDown Browser functions much like a standard browser, but some options have been removed or work differently. For a list of options that have changed check the ITS respondus website linked on this page.
