[Ward, Lynn E.]

This topic was recently raised on the samigo list.  I've pasted the thread below:

Our experience with lock down has been good so far. We have used this with Samigo and Mnene. There are some design difference between the 2, and for ex force completion for Mneme does not work and is not an option for Samigo.
We have one more strange issue affecting 5% of our users on Mac and pc's that causes a login looping issue and we have not found a solution to this so far (almost a year). The other draw back with the company is that their support model only uses email and I find it hard to deal with them under this model for support.
But for majority cases this is working well as a first line of defense.

Thanks,
Narasi

Hi,

We are looking into integrating Respondus LockDown Browser with Sakai (2.9.2 on Win2K8 & Oracle 10g). Can you please share your experience regarding the implementation process and usage of the lockdown browser?

So far we are aware of this conversation - http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cms.sakai.devel/50150 and this JIRA - https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-2198. Any additional thoughts, concerns or gotchas will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Anand

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have any experience using the Respondus LockDown Browser integrated in their Sakai instance?  I'm wondering what experiences you have had or what you have heard from both your Instructors and Students.

Any comments pro or con will be appreciated!
