LockDown Browser Respondus availability on log in computers in Ref room

 Hi all,


This morning a student came to the desk to let me know that many students are required to use LockDown Browser (Respondus) to take online quizzes or tests, and it wasn't on the log in computers in the reference room.  Though she said it is on computers in the Superlab.


Helpful coworkers sent a description and a link to the software page: https://software.uncg.edu/Available/Respondus-Lockdown-Browser

That software page has a Download software button that works on log in computers in the Reference Room.  


Just FYI, it also says the software is in AppCat, but if you're not seeing LockDown nor Respondus there, apparently the "AppCat" settings are different in the Ref room than in the Superlab. (That  threw me for a loop, but one of the library IT support people told me so it's solid info).

 

Wish I'd found all of this out while the student was with me, but at least she didn't need the sw at the time and I'll know for next time.

 

Take care!
