Question 1

Special plans for teachers and schools

Accepted Answer

This article explains the special packages we offer for teachers and schools and their terms and conditions.

We love teachers

Until recently, primary and secondary school teachers could enjoy our Teacher and School Owl plans when they agreed to use Easy LMS for classroom work only.

Due to the high demand for the reduced plans and the current high demand for the support team, we can’t deliver the quality support we love to give. That’s why we decided to suspend the Teacher Owl and School Owl plans until further notice.

If you’re already a Teacher or School Owl, you can stay on your plan and nothing will change.

Question 5

What does the number of 'participant sessions' per month mean?

Accepted Answer

One of the distinctive features of Easy LMS is that we don't charge per participant. That means you don't need to add users in advance before sharing your tests and courses. If you want to add participants, that is possible too, but not necessary.

This means you can publish the content you create with Easy LMS on your website, social media page, share it via text message, etc., without adding participants each time. Your participants can self-register or just take the tests anonymously.

| However, we do have a limit of accesses, or participant sessions per month, per account.

What is a 'participant session'?

A participant session is an Exam, Course, Assessment or Quiz session or attempt (completed or not). You can view and download your sessions per content type at the Results tab of your tests or courses. As explained above, the session may contain participant data or be anonymous.

For example, in an Exam > Results, you can view the Exam sessions or attempts:

So, the limit of 'participant sessions' per subscription level is the **total number of times your learning content can be acces

Question 6

How to prevent cheating in an Exam

Accepted Answer

Taking online tests increases the chance of cheating in comparison with paper testing. What can you do to prevent students from online cheating? Preventing students from cheating seems to be impossible with all the advanced technology out there today. Here are some tips and tricks that will help prevent cheating.

Tips and tricks to prevent cheating in an online test

Randomize questions

When taking tests, participants are often getting asked questions in the same sequence. This makes it easier for participants to cheat on their Exams. It is obviously not what you want to happen. To prevent this, you can randomize your questions.

Let's say you create a question bank of 100 questions, and for each Exam, the question bank generates an Exam with 20 questions chosen at random. So, every participant taking the Exam gets a different set of 20 questions. You can also create different categories for your questions and generate an Exam with questions picked randomly from each category.

Restrict access

Instead of making your Exam available to everyone with the link, you can restrict access to it using our invite-only feature. Read more about it here.
