Setup LockDown Browser for an Assessment
To set up an assessment in MyClasses to require students to use LDB:
- Log into MyClasses and enter the desired course.
- From the course navigation, select Respondus LockDown Browser. If this option is not visible, follow the Enabling LockDown Browser in your course to add LDB to your course menu.
- A list of deployed tests will be displayed.
- To change the settings for the test:
- Click the drop-down arrow to the left of the test
- Select Modify Settings from the menu
- Select Require Respondus Lockdown Browser for this exam. Optionally you may enter a test password that students must enter to start the test in LDB.
- Select the option Require LDB to view feedback + results to restrict students from printing test results.
- Click Save and Close.
- The test is now set to require LDB and the text “Requires Respondus LockDown Browser” will be added to the assessment title.
- Advanced Settings include allowing students to take the test with an iPad and allowing specific students to access the test with screen readers is also available.
What if a student uses a browser other than the LDB?
If the settings for a test require that LDB be used, it cannot be accessed with a standard browser. If the student attempts to take the test using a standard browser (Firefox, Chrome, Safari. etc.…) the student will be prompted with a warning “This quiz requires Lockdown Browser. Please launch Respondus LockDown Browser to take the quiz or view your quiz results.”
