Prevent copy/print of tests

Before using any of these scripts the VTBE (Visual Text Box Editor) must first be turned off before adding the no print script. You can turn it off from the Personal Information --> Change Personal Settings area on the main portal or any place where the VTBE is located (look for the turn off button, upper right side of VTBE). When you turn it off, it turns it off for your account. Once it is off you can add the script and submit it so that it will work correctly.



If the above directions are not followed and it isn't turned off and you submit it, it changes the code which impacts students to get "kicked out" or the "locked up" in the test.



Once VTBE is turned off, either:



1. Create a new test then add the script to the Instruction section.



or



2. If the test has already been created, go to Test Manager and on the “drop down” menu click ‘Edit.’



Then, click the “drop down” menu under Test Canvas and click ‘Edit.’



In the instructions section, Paste the following in the text box:



No-copy/no-print script (NOTE: This script DOES NOT auto submit on the time limit)



<P>insert your instructions here</P>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/webapps/assessment/nocopyprint.js"></script>


Type your instructions where it says "insert your instructions here" between <P> and </P>.



Click Submit. Finish creating the test.



**NOTE**

Students should not have anything on the clipboard as that is in contention with the no copy/paste/print functionality of the script. This can cause the browser to lockup.
