Respondus LockDown Browser in Blackboard Ultra

Modified on Mon, 18 Sep, 2023 at 10:43 AM

Instructors and students, please note: using the Respondus LockDown Browser is different in Blackboard Ultra than it is in Original. Here's how to take a test with the LockDown Browser in Ultra:


  1. In your course, open the exam. 
  2. A window will open on the right.
    Note: There is an option in this window to download and install the LockDown Browser if you have not done that already. You will need to have the LockDown Browser installed before proceeding.
  3. Click on the "Start attempt" button at the bottom of the window.
  4. A pop-up will open with a button that says "Open LockDown Browser." Use that button to launch the LockDown Browser and take your exam. 


Here's a quick video to demonstrate:
