[Xerte] Quiz Security

[Mark Tomlinson, AC&S Ltd]

To be quite frank, SCORM itself is not secure at all, never mind the
eLearning tool.  I was shown at EeLS an html / javascript file that allows a
user to set what they want in the LMS while their course is running..  You
want a 100% pass.No problem, click a button!  You want to show
'completed'... No problem, click a button!

I think it probably depends on what's at stake. If passing the exam means a
huge payrise, then students have a big incentive to try and cheat. If the
test is simply a formative test to give them feedback on their learning,
then you could argue that, as long as the students get the feedback, they
are continuing to learn.

 

If the test is high stakes, then Xerte probably isn't the tool for the job.
Students would have to try quite hard, and be reasonaly tech-savvy, but they
could get at the data if they really wanted to.

Hello all, i'm new in e-learning and scorm things... :)

I have a question, if i create a scorm web based quiz using xerte does it
secure? Can the students somehow cheating and obtain the answer?

Thanks.
