Issue with Respondus LockDown Browser for Windows and assessments using essay and short answer questions
Windows users need to update Respondus LockDown Browser to the latest version (2.0.7.00)
When using an older version of Respondus LockDown Browser for Windows, a student may see an error message about unanswered questions when submitting an assessment that includes essay or short answer questions. However, the student's responses are saved as part of the student's assessment attempt.
The latest version of LockDown Browser for Windows (2.0.7.00) fixes this issue. Students can apply the update from within LockDown Browser for Windows (click the “i" icon in the toolbar and then select Check for newer version) or download and run the full installation program.
