Updating Respondus Lockdown Browser
In a recent email, Dr.Lavelle mentioned that we need to update Respondus before Midterm 2. Does anyone know how to update respondus?

Re: Updating Respondus Lockdown Browser
Open the LockDown Browser and in the upper left corner there's a button that has an i in a circle. Press on that and a box will pop up with a button in the middle that says "Check for newer version". Press on that and it'll say get newer version or something like that; press on that button and it'll update. At least that's what I did, hopefully it works for you too.

I don't know how to update either. I can't find that button. Is it maybe different for a mac laptop because that is what I am using.

Click on the Respondus app and then click on the globe and check for updates

I just checked my Respondus and it did not even need an update so you should be good :)

Do a test run of Lockdown by opening it up before your exam just to check for any pending updates. If you don't see anything, you should be good to go!

I have a Mac laptop and I just went to Finder then Applications. If you downloaded Respondus it should be there. Once you open it up, there's should be a little globe icon in the top left; if you click on it you'll find a little box that you can click on to check for recent updates. Mine was also updated already without me having to update it manually.

I didn't have to update Respondus but I would check the night before you have to use it (now for finals).

Re: Updating Respondus Lockdown Browser
Safest bet before exams is just to delete and redownload respondus I think, but I also didn't have to update.
