[Building Sakai] any progress on a lock down browser

[Mark Breuker]

Hi Eric,

We use KIOWARE's [1] browser for exams with Mneme. We also modified the Sakai portal that only displays Mneme and not the top and left menu to prevent the student from going to another worksite/tool.

Regards,

Mark

Eric,

Makes sense. I believe Firefox may have a kiosk mode that could be
utilized for this - but I'd be interested if the Samigo (Tests and
Quizzes) or Mneme (Test Center) folks have had any feature requests in
this area...

Thanks!
