Manage Exams: Enable Lost Focus Security

Updated on

The Lost Focus Security feature will lock Students out of an Exam if they attempt to leave the Exam window to access other resources, websites, or software on their computer.

  • Students will not be able to leave or tab out of the Exam while this feature is turned on.
  • If a Student gets locked out of the Exam, the Exam Administrator will have to unlock the Student's account in order to allow them to re-access the Exam.
  • Each instance of a Student getting locked out will be tracked and included in the Locked Users Report.
