[LON-CAPA-users] Proctor Password Slots/Assessments

[Stuart Raeburn]

Hi Doug,

When the timer parameter is set (and the scope is for all items in a folder),
e.g., for a remote proctored exam, students currently need to remain  
in place in the proctored environment until the time allotted to the  
exam has elapsed.

The next LON-CAPA release will contain a "done button" which the  
student can use to indicate that he/she wishes to end the exam. Once  
that button has been pushed) and the student has also confirmed that  
he/she is "done"), and the action has been processed server-side, the  
student's access to items in the exam folder will cease, and the  
student may leave the proctored environment.
