1. Install the LockDown Browser Extension
Respondus LockDown Browser for Chromebooks requires an extension for Chrome. The best way to install the extension is from the Quiz/Exam start page. Click on the button that says "Download and install the latest version of LockDown Browser". You can also install the plugin through this link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lockdown-browser-extensio/fogjeanjfbiombghnmkmmophfeccjdki.
2. Enable Pop-Up Windows
By default Google Chrome, the only internet browser on Chromebooks, will have the security setting pop-up and redirects set to blocked. If a user does not switch this to "allow" they will run into issues with using Brightspace, in particular it may block students from starting quizzes and exams even after installing the LockDown Browser plugin. Follow the steps below to enable pop-ups and redirects for https://brightspace.uakron.edu.
