It is important for students to review material in their Internet courses on the day classes begin and to contact their instructors using the course email tool.

Respondus LockDown Browser

(Used for Blackboard Tests or Exams)

Instructors will be using Respondus LockDown Browser to deliver assessments in a secure browser.  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.

You must use the following link to install the JSCC version of LockDown Browser.

Download Lockdown Browser

This is the only version of LockDown Browser compatible with JSCC Blackboard.

NOTE: Also, any existing antivirus software must allow you to install Respondus Lockdown from this link: https://download.respondus.com/lockdown/download.php?id=474536245

  • If your Instructor has enabled the Respondus LockDown Browser in Blackboard here is how it will appear:

  • You will need to open/run Respondus LockDown Browser before taking the Test. You will need to log in again using Jeff State user name and password,

  • 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.
