Safe Mode protects test integrity by preventing students from downloading assessment content, triggering navigation warnings, disabling copy and paste, and hiding future assessments.
What does Safe Mode do?
Disables copy/paste. With copy/paste unavailable, students cannot copy question text and copy into translators, nor can they copy text from an external source and paste as a written answer.
Hides future assignments so students only see active, completed, and past due assignments.
Disables submission review. Students cannot review their submission until a grade and/or feedback has been provided and published. (If safe mode is disabled, students can review their response prior to grades/feedback).
Activates Student Navigation Warnings for single attempt questions, displaying a warning if the student navigates away from the browser page.
Note: Navigation Warnings are not supported for Group Assessments.
