We Recommend

• Including Lockdown Browser Information for Students in your syllabus or Blackboard course.

• Creating a practice test that requires Lockdown Browser so that students can avoid technical issues with higher stakes exams.

• Creating a copy of the exam that does not require Lockdown Browser in case of technical issues.
