- October 7th, 2021
- in -Instructional Technology News, Announcements, Known Issues
Update, Friday, October 8 at 9:00 AM:
CIT has applied a settings change recommended by Respondus Support. Instructors should follow the revised “How to Publish your Test to Blackboard via Respondus 4” and “How to Export a Blackboard Test to a Word Document” how-to guides in the Respondus Blackboard course.
NOTE: This issue does not affect Respondus Lockdown Browser or Monitor. The issue only affects the use of the Respondus 4.0 test management tool.
Users may receive an error message when trying to upload a test to Blackboard, or when retrieving test questions from Blackboard, via Respondus 4.0. The error message may say one or both of the following:
- “Error accessing course list; either the login failed or it has no access to any courses.”
- “Authentication failed. Please select [Edit Settings] to double-check your server settings.”
We have contacted Respondus Support to troubleshoot this issue and will update this Known Issue when it is resolved.
Workaround: Upload Questions to Blackboard using a formatted Excel spreadsheet.
