HELPFUL RESOURCES >BLACKBOARD>FAQ>PREVENTING STUDENTS FROM PRINTING OR COPYING TESTS

How do I prevent students from printing or copying tests?

This combines the no print trick with some javascript to prevent test copying. Put the code in the last question of a quiz (not a pool). It's not completely foolproof, but it's a great inconvenience to casual cheaters. It works on recent versions of Internet Explorer and FireFox. When creating a question, click on HTML radio button and enter the following text in a question:

<script language="Javascript" src="http://blackboard.unf.edu/support/includes/nocopy.js"></script>

This does not prevent screen captures, or File/Save As browser function.

**Please Note: Use of this javascript code will prevent students from completing an assessment in the Safari browser as they will be unable to select answers in the assessment. If you use the script, please instruct all Mac users to use the FireFox browser for the assessment. Also, use of this script will prevent Instructors from manually grading the assessment attempts in FireFox.
