Checking if a student accessed or attempted an exam

To check if a student that did not submit an exam accessed the exam while it was available, the Not Taken page provides access to the login times of each student enrolled in the exam. Checking if the student logged in at the time of the exam can be helpful if an exam dispute were to occur.

To view the logins for a student, open the not taken page, find the student and click the view logins button.

After clicking the button, the View logins screen opens and allows you to view all MyDispense login times for a student. The top of the screen displays when the assessment was available to the student and their last login time. At the bottom of the screen is a table of all of the student’s recorded login times.

By default the login time will be filtered to the date that the assessment was available, giving an overview of when the student should have logged in for the assessment.

Unchecking the search by date checkbox can disable the date filtering. Doing so will display the login record for every time the student logged into MyDispense. Filtering is employed by default to keep the login record manageable.

Please note that logins can last up to 24 hours, so a login from the day before may still be valid.

In addition to logins, access to an assessment is also tracked by exercises opened. When a student opens an assessment exercise, it is logged and displayed on the not taken page.

Exercise access logging is displayed in the table as exercises opened. If a student accessed an assessment exercise, the exercise name is displayed.  When no exercises were accessed, no exercises opened is displayed and indicates that student did not open the assessment at all.
