Feature request: password setting for exams #56

Closed ffund closed 7 months ago

ffund commented 7 months ago

There are instances where it would be desirable to have an exam password.

For example, I would like to use PrairieTest in unproctored mode for students who are going to take exams at the disability center. (In this scenario, I am using PrairieTest so that students will not be able to open other assessments in the course while in exam mode.) I don't know who the proctor will be at the disability center, and they're not in PrairieTest. But, our disability center has the option for me to upload a paper exam that they print and give to the student. I used to upload a PDF with just the password in it, and they would print it and give it to the student at the start of the exam time.

Does this solve your problem?

Just realized you asked about PrairieTest. In any case, I believe you can set it in PL regardless.

I asked in Slack and was told not :shrug:

I just tested this in my course and it worked. Basically you have an access rule like this:

    {
      "mode": "Exam",
      "examUuid": "[YOUR UUID]",
      "password": "[YOUR PASSWORD]",
      "credit": 100
    }

Glad to see that this works! @ffund I'm going to close this issue, but if you have any trouble getting that to work, don't hesitate to reach out for help in any of the usual places.
