[QIZ011TAS]: Testing Quiz (Student’s review – After the quiz is closed)

---

1. From the admin’s browser, click Update this Quiz button on the top left corner. You should be presented with the quiz setting page.
2. Change the option Show quiz in a “secure” window to Yes. The "secure" window tries to provide a little more security for quizzes (making copying and cheating more difficult) by restricting some of the things that students can do with their browsers.
3. Now, switch to student’s browser and re-attempt the quiz. I tested it using three most popular browsers (and their current version at the time of writing this document): Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2 , and Opera 8.5.1. The secure window works most effectively in Explorer, partially works in Firefox and does not work in Opera. The tests are:
   1. The quiz appears in a new full screen window (Only works in Explorer)
   2. Some mouse actions are prevented (eg. Right click): This works both in Explorer and Firefox, however Opera still allows right click.
   3. Some keyboard commands are prevented (eg. Ctrl-A – select all and Ctrl-C – copy in Windows), this is a common trick done by student to get a copy of the questions by selecting all the text on the browser and copy it to clipboard, and paste them in a text editor): By the time this text is written, it only works in Explorer. The other two browsers allow the keyboard shortcut

[QIZ012TAS]: Testing Quiz (Require password)

---

1. From the admin’s browser, click Update this Quiz button on the top left corner. You should be presented with the quiz setting page.

4. Type password as the password :-) and click OK.
5. You should get the quiz questions presented on the screen.

[QIZ012TAS]: Testing Quiz (Require network address)

---

1. From the admin’s browser, click Update this Quiz button on the top left corner. You should be presented with the quiz setting page.
2. Look at the require network address option. You can restrict access for a quiz to particular subnets on the LAN or Internet by specifying a comma-separated list of partial or full IP address numbers. This is especially useful for a proctored quiz, where you want to be sure that only people in a certain room are able to access the quiz.
3. What we will do here basically is to put IP number range which does not represent our own IP number so that we should not be able to attempt the test. In my case, my IP is 127.0.0.1 and so I put the following number (any number that doesn’t match my IP range) in the textbox.
4. Now, switch to student’s browser and refresh the page. You should not see the re-attempt button on the result page anymore. That means as a student, you cant attempt the quiz since you are not coming from the allowed IP address range.
5. Go to the admin’s browser again, and now change the value of require network address to your IP address. In my case it is started with 127.0.0. and so I put that value in and when I refresh the student’s browser. Surprise! I can see the re-attempt button again.
