In December 2018, Google allowed districts to take part in Beta-testing for the Locked Mode Quiz feature in Google Forms.  As the testing period comes to a close on this feature, and we get closer to a wider release date for all GSuite users, take a look at this tutorial to see what’s to come.

Reminders:

• Only students logged in to managed Chromebooks will be able to access your quiz.
• When students click Start Quiz, they will enter Kiosk mode, and will no longer have access to open new tabs in Chrome

  • This feature allows you to see if students are “mining” quizzes for questions so they can look up answers before re-opening the quiz later.
