Managing Preferences on Extempore
Safe Mode

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 it into Extempore.
Hides future assignments. Students only see active, past due, and completed assignments.

Accepting Late Work
Note: Doesn't apply to Group Assessments to prevent students from being able to overwrite group recordings after the due date. Edit the due date for group assessments to make them available for students after the due date has passed.
By default, late work is accepted on Extempore.
When accept late work is unchecked, late work will not be permitted and students will not be able to respond to these questions.
Considerations with "Accept Late Work"
When accept late work is off (that is, the box is unchecked)....
Students will no longer be able to view or respond to assessments after the due date.
If you change the start / end window of an assignment after it's due to make it active again, only students who did not complete will be able to respond. The assessment will remain in the completed folder for students who already completed it.
Enable Language Keyboard
Allows students to select a language keyboard for their target language when submitting written responses.
Right to Left Languages:
For languages such as Arabic, Aramaic, Azeri, Dhivehi/Maldivian, Hebrew, Kurdish (Sorani), Persian/Farsi, and Urdu text can be displayed Right to Left for both teachers and students.
