The Respondus Lockdown is a neat feature in Blackboard (both CE 8 and Learn 9). It is a security measure that deters students from looking up answers. Exams opened in lockdown browser will not allow the student to open or close any other windows or programs while the exam is being taken This feature makes cheating more inconvenient to the student. It is still possible for students to look up answers in other ways, but at least it will make browsing the internet/personal files for the answers a bit more challenging.
In
Blackboard CE 8, the lockdown browser feature is programmable through the Edit Properties of each assessment. Here are the steps to enabling the Lockdown Browser for a particular assessment (quizzes and tests):
