Hello Friends! So I am going to spend the next few Tuesday's showing you ways to control cheating on Schoology. It is not a fix all and won't prevent it but it sure does slow it down and make it more difficult to cheat.
The first thing I always do when administering a test or quiz on Schoology is check my settings!
The picture below shows several settings that I use to help with cheating.
- Randomize Order: I always randomize the questions as much as possible. So that no one person is on the same question at the same time. I also tell students this so that maybe they will think " I can't look at my neighbor because they will have a different question."
- Resumable: I always set resumable to NO on a test or quiz because if they go out of schoology it will not let them back into that test and they will have to come see me to be let back in. Then I can ask them why they got out of the test/quiz. Now with this setting you will have some that accidentally get out of it or sometimes there will be a glitch but you can always let them back in by clicking unsubmit on their test.
- View Submissions: I always set view submissions to NO. So when they are finished they will not be able to see all of the answers to the test/quiz and then they will not be able to send the answers to all of their friends. Now once everyone has taken the test I will go back in and turn it to yes so they can see what they have missed and the correct answers.
