LockDown Browser Required
LockDown Browser Requirement
This course requires the use of LockDown Browser for online exams. Watch this video to get a basic understanding of LockDown Browser:
https://www.respondus.com/products/lockdown-browser/student-movie.shtml
Download Instructions
Download and install LockDown Browser from this link:
https://download.respondus.com/lockdown/download.php?id=999134577
Once Installed
- Start LockDown Browser
- Log into Blackboard Learn
- Navigate to the test
Note: You won't be able to access tests with a standard web browser. If this is tried, an error message will indicate that the test requires the use of LockDown Browser. Simply start LockDown Browser and navigate back to the exam to continue.
Guidelines
When taking an online test, follow these guidelines:
- [If testing is to occur at a designated location, such as a testing center, add those instructions here.]
- [If applicable] Select a location where you won't be interrupted
- Before starting the test, know how much time is available for it, and also that you've allotted sufficient time to complete it
- Turn off all mobile devices, phones, etc. and don't have them within reach
- Clear your area of all external materials - books, papers, other computers, or devices
- Remain at your desk or workstation for the duration of the test
- LockDown Browser will prevent you from accessing other websites or applications; you will be unable to exit the test until all questions are completed and submitted
Getting Help
Several resources are available if you encounter problems with LockDown Browser:
- The Windows and Mac versions of LockDown Browser have a "Help Center" button located on the toolbar. Use the "System & Network Check" to troubleshoot issues. If an exam requires you to use a webcam, also run the "Webcam Check" from this area
- [As applicable, insert information about your institution's help desk, including details about how to contact them. Some help desks want students to run the "System & Network Check" and the "Webcam Check" before they are contacted - and even, to forward the results of these checks at the time of opening a ticket.]
- Respondus has a Knowledge Base available from support.respondus.com. Select the "Knowledge Base" link and then select "Respondus LockDown Browser" as the product. If your problem is with a webcam, select "Respondus Monitor" as your product
- If you're still unable to resolve a technical issue with LockDown Browser, go to support.respondus.com and select "Submit a Ticket". Provide detailed information about your problem and what steps you took to resolve it
Use of ACC Testing Center
All testing is currently online. While campuses are closed, exams for courses will be online tests that students can take from home. For more information about online testing at ACC, visit the Online Testing resource page: https://www.austincc.edu/academic-and-career-programs/acconline/testing.
Exception to Grade Reduction
To prevent grade reduction, you must meet the following conditions:
- You must have experienced an unforeseen and sudden emergency. Note: getting behind in the course is not an unforeseen emergency.
- You must present Professor Wade documented proof of your emergency.
- You must contact Professor Wade in person, by phone, or by e-mail of your emergency on or before the exam deadline date or the exam administration date and time.
Retesting & Extra Credit
Quizzes can be taken multiple times until the end of the Semester, with the highest grade awarded. Labs can be resubmitted until the end of the semester. Mid-term and Final Exams can be taken only once. No Retesting of Mid-term or Final Exam is permitted. Unless an extra lab is provided, no additional Extra Credit can be awarded.
Important Grading Notes
Grades will be posted as they are earned throughout the semester. You must report (in writing) all grading issues within seven calendar days of the grade being posted. If you have not reported a grading issue within the seven calendar days, then the grade will be final.
Grades are based on achievement, not effort.
