Hi,<br>
<br>
Fantasic, Stuart! The "done" button is a "dream" feature that <br>
we had desired for quite a while.<br>
<br>
<br>
I am wondering whether it is possible to have the following<br>
added functionalities:<br>
<br>
<br>
Proctor Credentials for Signing In (before timer starts): <br>
<br>
As It Stands: At the start time of the scheduled time slot and<br>
right before the student is prompted to activate the timer, the<br>
system will ask for keyboard entry of the proctor's username <br>
and password. For a large group of 50 students, having the <br>
proctor go around to enter the proctor's credentials one <br>
student at a time is impractical. In practice, one ends up with<br>
little choice but to announce the proctor's credentials on the<br>
board for all the students to type in themselves. That opens <br>
up a can of worms.<br>
<br>
Desired Feature: Is it possible to set it up so that each student <br>
is assigned a *different* "proctor signing-in" password? If it is<br>
possible, then each student can be given his/her unique proctor<br>
password on a little slip of paper. The non-reusability of "proctor<br>
signing-in" password for another student would defeat potential <br>
cheating via texting credentials to a friend.<br>
<br>
<br>
Proctor Credentials for Signing Out (before student logs out): <br>
<br>
The "Done" Button: Can we call it a "Proctor Sign Out" button<br>
so that the student will need to call an invigilator/proctor<br>
to sign the student out when done? Having a SECRET <br>
"proctor signing-out" password (that is different from the<br>
"proctor signing in" password) may also be helpful, I think.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
By the way, I'd like to thank all the Lon Capa developers for the<br>
latest version of Lon Capa (<small>2.11.1-2015053018</small>). It
is the best <br>
version of Lon Capa yet that we have ever used since 2007. The<br>
system response is snappy, and the count-down timer works like a <br>
charm.<br>
<br>

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.
