How do I install Lockdown Browser on a Chromebook?
Answer
Install Lockdown Browser on a Chromebook
On a Chromebook, Lockdown Browser can be installed as an extension, from the Chrome web store, using these steps in this order:
- Login to your Chromebook.
- Open the Chrome browser.
- Use this URL: https://download.respondus.com/lockdown/download.php?id=732446231, which will redirect to the Chrome web store.
- Add the Lockdown Browser extension.
Important: Do not search the Chrome web store directly or use other links, as they will not show the extension correctly, and you will not be able to correctly log in to Blackboard to access your exam.
Use Lockdown Browser on a Chromebook
Once the Lockdown Browser extension has been correctly installed, use these steps to access and take your exam:
- Login to your Chromebook.
- Use the Chrome browser to login to Red Deer Polytechnic's Blackboard.
- Important: Ensure you are using the new RDP Blackboard URL, https://rdpolytech.blackboard.com/, not the old RDC Blackboard login. Update your bookmark to the new URL.
- Access the exam which requires Lockdown Browser and take it.
