Hi,

does anybody have a solution for how to fulfill an authority’s requirements to prevent cheating while attempting a quiz in Totara? As follows:

  • Prevent copy-paste operations.

  • Prevent screenshots and screen video recordings.

  • Prevent opening external files (word, excel, etc.) or applications (notes, pages, etc.).

  • Prevent opening another browser or other tabs in the current browser.

  • Do not allow to use any USB devices.

  • Do not allow students to send messages to each other using LMS software.

  • Do not allow students to open training materials.

  • It would be great if it forced full-screen mode for the browser window.

We know there exists software that allows to pass examinations and meet the requirements above. For example https://constructor.tech/products/learning/proctor/secure-browser. However, it is not a suitable option to use separate applications for examinations and we want to have related functions directly in LMS.

Thank you for any ideas.
