Yes, but the tests are being run from within our learning management system, so presumably the student could locate the screengrab (assuming it had been saved as a local file) attach it to an email (we use gmail accounts) and send it to themselves. Whether they would have time to do this in a middle of a test while the room is being patrolled is another thing. > > Fifteen or so years ago I produced a hacked-up version of a standard > web browser for our library system so they could roll out a public > internet and prevent Bad Things from happening, but that's less of an > option now. I'm normally not at all worried about this sort of thing but we have a strict agreement with the provider of the test questions that they will be protected from copying/distribution. However, even if we can somehow prevent 'digital' copying altogether, then it is quite likely that students will attempt to memorise one or two questions each and then pool their recollections - it's a tried and tested technique.
