Device controls can affect learning and accessibility. Local protection must not be presented as preventing every form of copying or outside assistance.
Evaluation approach
Maintain exam start, answers and submission state on the server. Do not make a local timer authoritative. Define accepted answers and retry handling during outages.
Application example
If a RASP event occurs during an exam, preserve answers and route the event for review. Consider uncertainty and legitimate assistive technology before automatic failure policies.
Limits and considerations
An unchanged application does not prove the absence of outside help. Screen restrictions cannot eliminate every cheating method.
Checks and decisions
- Keep exam state server-side
- Prevent answer loss
- Provide appeals and accessibility flows
Separate technical observations from educational judgments and state the limits of the evidence.
