The download for the LockDown Browser should be available in a link from the class that requires it.
- Step 1. Close all programs, unless one is used to connect you to the internet.
- Step 2. Locate the “LockDown Browser” shortcut on the desktop and double-click it (For Mac users, launch “LockDown Browser” from the Applications folder).
- Step 3. If prompted, either close a blocked program (e.g., screen capture, instant messaging) by choosing Yes. Or, close LockDown Browser and close the blocked program before restarting.
- Step 4. Log into your Blackboard course.
- Step 5. Navigate to the test and select it.
- Step 6. If the instructor requires a test password, a new window will appear asking for the Exam Password. Enter the password and click Begin Exam.
- Step 7. The test will then start (note: once a test has been started with Respondus LockDown Browser, you cannot exit until the Submit button is clicked).
