Body

A 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. Instructors will need to allow the use of LockDown Browser for Chromebook on a per exam basis.

Students with Chromebooks will need to download and install the UIC Lockdown Browser from this link: https://download.respondus.com/lockdown/download.php?id=344933365
- You will NOT be able to search for the app directly from the Chrome web store.

Click on Install Now and the link will direct the Chrome web store, at which point you should select “Add to Chrome” to install the LockDown Browser Extension on your Chromebook.

If the instructor enables an exam to use the Chromebook version of LockDown Browser and Monitor, it will automatically launch LockDown Browser and Monitor at the appropriate time.
