Respondus Monitor in beta for Chromebooks

A beta release of a new Chromebook extension for LockDown Browser is currently available for exams delivered in Blackboard Learn (Original view). This version of the LockDown Browser Chromebook extension also supports Respondus Monitor. During the beta period, instructors will need to allow the use of LockDown Browser for Chromebook on a per-exam basis.

Once you have created and deployed a test in your Blackboard course, you can configure it to require the Respondus LockDown Browser by going to “Control Panel > Course Tools > Respondus LockDown Browser.” This link also will lead you to the Respondus Monitor feature, which is optional, but must be used in conjunction with LockDown Browser. Consult the knowledge article How do I require Respondus Monitor for student testing? for further information.
