he exam in a word-like application and are barred from getting to their har=
d drive or the Internet while doing so. Exams are submitted electronically=
to the server where the exam opener decodes and prints them. Back-up copi=

It's been working great. We pay an annual license fee and use it in many U=
pper School humanities throughout the year, but everyone has to take their =
finals on E4. Very little setup required and very dependable. We have not=
lost a single exam in over three years.

Subject: use of computers on exams
We are in the first year of a 1:1 environment and are experimenting with us=
ing computers on semester exams for essay writing. Currently, we have creat=
ed a special log-in for students that restricts access to local network dri=
ves and the Internet; it works well but is a huge undertaking for our tech =
staff and I'm not sure it will translate when we try to have computers used=
on in-class tests as well. Any suggestions out there that will appease tea=
chers in terms of test security while not draining our tech resources?
