Students must log in to a password secured account before accessing their courses. Also, most of our courses employ the use of very large test banks for questions and via test pools and randomization of test questions to give each student within a class a different exam. We also deploy the tool Safeassign to guard against plagiarism. We have also been testing various other systems ranging from those that take a digital 'fingerprint' (where students access the courses from) to ones that utilize search engine data to ask students to verify certain information about themselves before they take a test. |
