4 Discussion
- Always
- Redirect only in kiosk mode
- Redirect only if SEB is used
The other topics (PDF and randomize questions) should be moved to separate feature wiki pages and be put on to the JF agenda again.
- Settings will be moved to EA-Plugin
Stefan Schneider, 13.07.2012: This feature should be part of standard ILIAS not a plugin. The feature needs merging with the naviless skin function, that should be abandoned.
We need to distinguish between ILIAS features and admin processes that should be handled by a future EA-Manager.
- We should merge and simplify the kiosk and security concepts for exam workflow (technical implementation and / or UI / configuration):
- SEB and OS: KIOSK broswing
- access control to ILIAS with SEB key (special user-agent string)
- no address bar for browsing
- control of third party applications in a kiosked OS
- -> we should recommend the use of SEB for secure exams with ILIAS, but its optional
- -> maybe we should only add an entries in the admin security section for
- access deny for all user-agents and / or custom request headers X-**** accept a special string/key (exact or partial matching)
- exception config for special roles (p.e. admins may access with all user-agents and without a special request header)
- like passwords the key should not be displayed in plain text (but admins are able to force plain text view) and admins must retype the key; stored as hash in DB (p.e. md5 or sha1)
- ILIAS KIOSK deskop and workflows
- disable logout
- disable menues
- disable navigation ...
- redirection / automation workflows (logout or redirect after finishing / certifying / archiving exams) what about using the new workflow engine of DataBay?
- KIOSK mode of the Test Object
- <- ALL useless infos (p.e. addintional info on start) or unused interactions should be disabled to offer a clean exam interaction model for students
- <- on the other side usefull infos on the test screen should be highly configurable (fullname, immatriculation, login, absolut time, remainig time etc.)
- SEB and OS: KIOSK broswing
- Recommendation:
- In the Test Assessment Administration section you can enable "exam mode" and define default values for all exammode settings, maybe we need a similar settings matrix like in user settings administration visible / editable / default. This enables a new tab in the Test Settings: "exam mode".
- kiosking / redirecting / pdf archiving and special security settings should be part of the new exam mode config (!except the user-agent / request header config (see SEB), kept in security admin section. This feature maybe usefull for other scenarios and the use of SEB should be optional for the whole exam workflow)
- Implementation: due to the existing confused implementation parts of kiosking and workflow control, the new "exam mode" should be completely redesigned (top down).
JF 29 Oct 2012: We appreciate this extensions and support its integration into the trunk for ILIAS 4.4. Leifos can provide general KIOSK-mode code of the Elba project and personal desktop modifications. Databay can take care of the "after test workflow".
5 Implementation
MJ 12 Jun 2013: Implemented the first option (redirect after finishing the test) as suggested by the ILIAS JF above.
MJ 13 Sep 2013: The SEB settings were completely removed from core. Everything concerning SEB was handled by the KIOSK plugin written by Stefan Schneider.
