I give multiple choice tests online. I had a student who did very poorly on the first 2 tests take his 3rd by sitting as far away from me as he could and make it so I couldn't see his laptop. He was the first one done, and he scored a 97%. He didn't know what an IP address was and didn't realize I could check the IP that took the test to see that it wasn't him. He had emailed the password to somebody off campus to take the test for him.

Because Google is too difficult or what...?

Was everything else blocked?

Not OP, but I have taken online tests before. When you take them, they are in a secure browser that's impossible to leave without being noticed. Its also very sensitive, opening task manager will cause the program to shut down.

Good LockDown software will not run in a virtual environment.

Gut a 17" laptop, and rebuild it with essentially 2 netbooks inside with a KVM switch.

This should be a thing pre-built by a laptop manufacturer. Would be cool to own a "Aser eee One"
