The Secure Responder helps ensure students stay focused on their Assesslet by preventing access to other tools or browser tabs during an activity.
Administrators and Teachers can enable Secure Responder on any Assesslet. Once active, students are locked out immediately if they try to navigate away from the Assesslet. Teachers and administrators can unlock Assesslets if needed.
When Not to Use Secure Responder
If you require other tools, such as chat, monitoring, or proctoring software (Zoom, Teams, Google Meets, etc.), Secure Responder may interfere and should not be used.
What Triggers a Student Lockout
Enabling the Secure Responder
From the left-hand menu, under Assesslet Activities, click on the name of the subject.
Select the name of the Assesslet you want to secure.
On the Assesslet Details tile, click Enable Secure Responder.
Student Experience
Students see a Secure Activity message at the start of the activity and click Continue to begin.
Clicking outside the Secure Responder or Save for Later immediately locks the Assesslet.
Locked activities are visible under Assignments in the left-hand menu.
Unlocking a Secure Responder
Teachers have two options to unlock a student’s Assesslet:
Option 1: Enter the teacher’s username and password directly on the student’s locked screen.

Select the Live Responses button next to the Assesslet title.
In the right panel, find the student’s name. Locked activities are highlighted in yellow. Click Locked.
