Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor are available in Blackboard Ultra. Students still need to install LockDown Browser on their device, but the launch experience in Ultra is different from what many faculty may remember from Original. After any course copy or migration into Ultra, instructors should review each exam in the LockDown Browser Dashboard before students begin. Respondus 4.0 Test Generator is not officially supported for Blackboard Ultra courses.

Courses follow a three-step process during the Blackboard Ultra transition. Faculty first copy their content into the Blackboard Original course shell by the deadline. After that, Blackboard converts the course to Ultra, and no action is needed during this step. Once conversion is complete, faculty receive their Ultra course to review, edit, and finalize before the semester begins. It is expected that courses will appear in Original during the copy phase.
