Known Issues for CCRI Academic Technologies

Respondus Lockdown Browser asks students for a password when beginning a test when they are using a Mac and when on a PC, students receive the following error message, "Contact your instructor to fix error" and the test does not load.

Work around:

Add an optional password to the exam via the optional password field available in the LockDown Browser Dashboard tool. Adding this password allows the original problem to not occur, and the student can enter the exam. You will need to give the students the password you’ve set. You should NOT use the same internally set password that resides in the Blackboard quiz settings.

O365 is adding do-not reply Blackboard faculty addresses to the auto-complete list in the O365 address book. This happens if the first email you receive from your instructor is sent from Blackboard.

The Bb do-not-reply email address format looks like this: 
[email protected] (do-not-reply@learn-prod-589ab7cf1b570-1625814385.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com.

Here are instructions to remove addresses from the auto-complete list in O365:

If the do-no-reply address is cached in the auto-complete list and you create a new email that auto-fills the do-not-reply address, the email will be returned undelivered. If this happens, remove the address from the auto-complete list using the above instructions. You only have to do this once for the individual instructor's address.
