Test security

Rachel Porter

We would like a "lock" feature for quizzes and tests that prevents students from navigating to another tab or window. The security features in place already are a good start, but given the ease with which a student can switch tabs to Google translate, they are not enough.

LockDown Browser

Would you please consider locking the browser when the students are taking the NSE so that we don't have to deal with possible cheaters? This is a feature that Quia (the company who the NSE used before) was able to do and this was very useful. Thank you!

Would be great to have a locked screen feature during the grand concours. When your school doesn't have a system in place for testing because their IT is 10 years behind, it is hard because kids are used to screen hopping. They can lock the screen for PARCC testing so why not this? Thanks.

Please consider tightening up the testing sites to eliminate possibility for translation - whatever that entails - locking the browser, or something.

I would also like to see this happen - they shouldn't even have the possibility of cheating. Please consider locking the browser!

Hi all! Thanks for the feedback on this and the examples. We are looking into be able to leverage features like this to require the device to stay in full screen mode for our fall release.

Seth Killian Wonderful! Since students can translate or perform image-to-text-to-translation without going to a new tab or window, I am hoping that the update will also be able to defeat the embedded translators in Chrome and Edge.

Agreed! Our district uses a Schoology Kiosk App (not made by our district) that is really helpful. It is a Chromebook App that the students access before the sign in to their devices. It does not allow them to open any links and keeps them locked into Schoology. An option like this for Lingco would open up the ability for us to use Lingco even MORE than we already do. :) I'm not sure if this is what our district uses, but here is a link to more info about one kiosk app. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pausd-schoology-kiosk-app/cjaohkeiafnialbjeipiipdmgjcpdhkn/reviews?hl=en

I agree with this. We use schoology kiosk for most of our assignments. This prevents students from browsing. It would be great if Lingo is able to do this.

Kristine Panganiban

Jennifer Washer I agree. We would love to use Lingco for assessments in Schoology. Lingco has such great question options!
