Info
When introducing LockDown Browser into your course, it is recommended that you set up a short practice assessment to allow yourself and students to work through any technical issues prior to the actual assessment.

1. Create your quiz in Schoology. Do NOT have anyone take the quiz before setting Lockdown Browser settings.

2. Select Lockdown Browser on left side menu of Schoology

3. Click on Select Settings from the dropdown next to the quiz

4. Select SettingsSelect Require “Require Respondus Lockdown Browser for this examexam”

5. Select Advanced Settings

6. Select “Allow students to take this exam with an iPad”

7. Do NOT select “Lock students into browser until exam completed”. Students will still take the quiz in a locked down mode BUT if there are technical issues they are allowed to quit the test after providing a reason which is saved for teachers to review.

8. Click Save and Close

   

9. If your course utilizes Linked Sections, repeat the above for each section using the section drop down menu in the top-left of the LockDown Browser settings page.

1. Below is the most common error students see when testing with the Lockdown Browser. This error is typically caused by the teacher not enabling the Lockdown Browser for the quiz in each EACH linked section (see Instructions for Teachers, step 9) or the teacher reused reusing an existing assessment that had already been taken by some students in a given sectionprior to setting the Lockdown Browser settings. To reuse an existing test/quiz, make a new test/quiz by copying it into Resources, and copying it back to your course, and then setting the Lockdown Browser settings.

Linked Sections:

If your course utilizes linked sections, you will need to enable your assessment for each section, using the section drop down menu in the top-left of the LockDown Browser settings page.

1. Reusing existing assessments:
   You cannot enable LockDown Browser for an existing assessment that has already been taken by some students in a given section.

Select the setting “Allow students to take this exam with an iPad.”


1. The Lockdown Browser settings MUST be set for the test/quiz in EACH of your sections individually, even if your sections are linked in Schoology.

2. The test/quiz cannot be previously taken by anyone prior to setting up the test/quiz with the Lockdown Browser. If the test has previously been taken, the students get an error message, “Could not retrieve exam settings. Please ask your instructor to verify the exam settings on the Lockdown Browser dashboard.” A new test/quiz must be created prior to setting it up to be used with the Lockdown Browser. To reuse an existing test/quiz, make a new test/quiz by copying it into Resources, and then copying it back to your courseImage Added

3. Students locked into the quiz and cannot escape the lockdown. This is caused when a teacher selects the Lockdown Browser setting, “Lock students into browser until exam completed” and the student tries to exit the quiz or the teacher changes the Lockdown Browser settings while the quiz is in progress. Again, do NOT set “Lock students into browser until exam completed”. Students will still take the quiz in a locked down mode BUT if there are technical issues they are allowed to quit the test after providing a reason which is saved for teachers to review.
