Problem With Users Cheating

Good Morning Everyone. We are trying to solve the problem of users being able to cheating on our courses. We are using Lectora 9 SP1, Windows XP, IE6 and Saba 5.4 SP1.

We actually have two different templates in use with two different issues.

In the first template that we used, we would place the correct and incorrect feedback in text boxes that were not initially visible. When the user selected an answer it runs an action that determines if the answer is correct or incorrect and makes the appropriate text box visible. We also used a transparent button to block the user from changing their answer once they select one.

We have just had it brought to our attention that if the user comes the page with a question and uses the CTRL+A, then CTRL+C, opens a text editor (Word or Notepad) and uses CTRL+V the question text, answer text and all of the feedback for both incorrect and correct is shown.

I suggested that we disable the CTRL key and that would eliminate this problem. Has anyone else run into this scenario? And if so, how did you handle this?

In our second template, we use Lectora’s native feedback function. But instead of using a JavaScript pop-up box to display the feedback, we use some custom JavaScript and CSS to embed the text directly on the page.

This does not have the problem as the template above, but it does allow the user to right-click on the page and view source. There the user can search the code and find the correct answer.

I know that I can use JavaScript to disable the right-click, but I am looking for a less aggressive solution. Does anyone know if there is anything in Saba that would disallow the user to view the source? Any suggestions or comments are welcome!

If anyone has any knowledge on either of these, your input is greatly appreciated.Good Morning Everyone. We are trying to solve the problem of users being able to cheating on our courses. We are using Lectora 9 SP1, Windows XP, IE6 and Saba 5.4 SP1.
