Follow these recommendations to ensure academic integrity in online tests in your MindTap course.
Password Protection
Set a password to be sure your students cannot access tests ahead of time. Students will not be able to begin the test until you share the password.
Set a password for any scoreable activity when you add it to the activities list.
CNOW
Set Password to take assignment when creating or editing a test.
Limit Availability
Make tests available for a short window of time. If tests are available for a long time, students have more opportunity to share answers. A short window of availability means students begin their tests at the same time and prioritize their own work.
When adding your test to the learning path, set Available Date and Due Date to the same date with only the appropriate amount of time between them.
Shuffle Questions
Shuffle the question order for each student. Shuffled questions make it difficult for students to share answers.
Limit Feedback
Do not allow any feedback on students' test performance until after the test is closed. Students that finish their tests early can use this feedback to assist those still taking the test.
CNOW
Clear the option under Feedback after Assignment when creating or editing a test.
