Lock assessment to prevent students from going to another window or tab (cheating)

They need to be able to lock a quiz/assessment to prevent students from going to another browser (cheating).

    Between not having this option, kids being VERY tech savvy, AND now the watches, my 5th graders have figured out how to cheat.

    I know this is a future consideration, but it seems like this should be an obvious feature. Maybe move this to a priority consideration?

    The ability to password an assignment (test/quiz) would make this easier. Password given in class and needed to access the assessment.

Add a lockdown browser so we can prevent students from accessing other parts of the internet when they are working on an assignment in the student edition or taking tests.

Teachers should be able to use the lockdown browser or not for any assignment they create.

Lock-down browser for Assessments

Merged
A lock-down browser for assessments would help out. That way students can't google answers or cheat. Allowing them to us desmos would be nice too

Prevent students from accessing other websites while taking assessments

Merged
Some students look up quiz questions online in a separate tab. A Chromebook kiosk application that would limit students to only using Savvas SSO login would help.

Do not allow students to open an assignment on another tab or device once the assignment is already opened.

Merged
Students are masters of cheating. They cheat on Realize all the time by opening their assignment twice (either on a new tab or another device). They enter wrong answers on one tab and/or device to find out the correct answer and then go to the oth...

Locked Mode option when teachers assign a task to students.

Merged
Allow teachers to lock student's technology when they are working on something. This prevents them from cheating and keeps them on-task. Too many students don't do the assignment because they are playing games, etc. and then quickly close out the ...

Make tests and quizzes lockable

I still use Google Forms for tests and quizzes because I can lock them (prevent students from opening other tabs during the assessment) to prevent cheating. Please add this feature to SAVVAS so I don't have to re-create all of my assessments in Go...

Admin is looking for a lockdown browser or an online proctor she could use for the high school student's test so that they are unable to cheat or search for the answers.

Would make it harder for students to cheat or look for answers
