What happens if a course is unavailable?

If a course builder tries to access a paper which is “Unavailable”, they will get a red error message, and not be able to access the paper at all.

Changing the role of the staff member to a Grader, TA or Instructor will give them access to an unavailable paper.

Does Blackboard have Java security certificate?

The Java security certificate used in Blackboard’s Java applets (Chat, Equation Editor, Text Editor, and other areas) have expired. We are working with Blackboard to update these certifications, but it will require an outage to Blackboard in the future.

Preparing for your exam

In addition to devoting the appropriate amount of time toward studying your course content, there are a number of steps you can take to ensure your success when taking online exams:

Understanding Test Settings

Clicking on the title of a test within your course will take you to the entry page, where you can view the instructions and any additional settings the instructor may have set.

Taking tests

Once you click the Begin button on the test entry page, the attempt will be logged and the exam timer, it in use, will start counting down. Do not begin a timed test until you are ready to start answering questions.

Viewing test results and feedback

Some exams submitted in Blackboard are scored automatically. Other exams—like those that include short-answer, essay, or file response questions—will need to be reviewed and scored by your instructor before a total score will be provided.

Taking Tests in the Lockdown Browser

For more information about using the Respondus Lockdown Browser with Blackboard exams, please visit our Lockdown Browser support page. For information about troubleshooting Respondus Lockdown Browser, please review the Student Support FAQ located on the Respondus Student Support Knowledgebase.

Taking Proctored Exams with HonorLock

HonorLock is a remote proctoring service that integrates with your web browser. Not all tests will require online proctoring, but if you’re scheduled to take a proctored exam using HonorLock, you’ll need to ensure your browser is configured before you begin the test.
