When creating an assignment in Quiz mode, you can also turn on Safe mode. The Safe mode feature helps you, as a teacher, discover if a student is trying to leave the quiz. With Safe mode on, you can see if and when a student leaves the quiz. If a student leaves the quiz, it is paused, and the student gets locked out of the assignment; the student can only continue working on the quiz once you have started it for them again.
