The Respondus LockDown Browser will be discontinued due to some required updates needed from the vendor. We are actively engaging with Respondus to address the issues, and we hope to resume the service once the necessary updates have been completed. To remove the Respondus Lockdown Browser from a test, please follow these instructions.
In the meantime, if you require LockDown Browser capabilities for your courses, you may consider using LAN School, which you can learn more about here. LAN School is only available on some Humber computer labs, and does not integrate into Blackboard.
You can consider using question banks, which can be made with Blackboard’s AI Design Assistant, and can use your content using the Context Picker, or you can make them manually. When using question banks, you can randomize the questions that appear on each students’ test by following the instructions here! You can also consider randomizing answers for test questions, adding password protection, as well as prohibiting backtracking, displaying only one question at a time, randomizing the order of questions, and prohibiting late submissions in the test settings can also be used to help with test security.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
