Documentation:WeBWorK/How to enable WeBWorK requiring credentials for submitting a proctored quiz

From UBC Wiki

Originally, WeBWorK required credentials to open a proctored quiz or to submit a proctored quiz for grading.

UBC's deployment added a feature to only require credentials when a student first opens a proctored quiz. This means by the current default settings, WeBWorK will not prompt students for credentials when re-opening the same quiz or submitting it for grading.

To re-enable WeBWorK's original behavior of prompting for credentials when re-opening the same quiz or submitting it for grading, submit a request to LT HUB to perform the following changes:

  • Modify the "course.conf" file under corresponding course directory (e.g. 2019W2_MATH_103_201)
  • Add the following lines at the end:
  # Proctor credentials only required when starting a proctored quiz?
  $options{proctorOnlyNeededWhenStarting} = 0;
