What This Help Article Covers:
✅ Built-in Features That Support Academic Integrity
InnerOrbit has several embedded features designed to promote fair and honest assessments while giving teachers clear insights into student learning.
🔄 Shuffled Answer Choices
Multiple-choice answers are automatically shuffled for each student to prevent predictable patterns.
📝 Free Response Questions
Open-ended questions allow teachers to assess deep understanding and spot similarities in student responses.
📊 Detailed Gradebook Insights
Navigate to “Reports” → “Gradebook” to view individual student responses and identify any patterns or inconsistencies that may indicate academic integrity concerns.
⚙️ Optional Settings for Your Assessments
The Assessment Builder offers customizable tools to enhance assessment security. Consider adjusting these settings when assigning an assessment.
📌 How to Access These Settings:
Go to the "Library" tab and select the assessment you’re administering.
You can also adjust these settings while building your assessment.
When setting up an assessment, you can decide whether students will see their scores immediately or only their completion status.
Don’t Show Scores to Students: Prevents students from viewing their scores and specific feedback immediately after taking an assessment.
Show Answers and Scores to Students: Students will see their overall grade and which questions they got right or wrong (without the correct answer being revealed).
📅 Set a Due Date
Set an optional due date when assigning an assessment to encourage timely completion.
⚠️ Important Note:
Students can still access and complete the assessment after the due date, and submissions will not be marked late.
However, the submission date and time will be visible in the Assignment Report for teacher reference.
🔒 Lock/Unlock Assessments
Use the lock feature to control when students can access an assessment.
Helpful for:
Pre-assigning an assessment but keeping it locked until test time.
Restricting access for specific students as needed.
Click the green lock icon next to the assigned class.
Adjust settings in the pop-up window to control access.

🔒 Lockdown Browser Compatibility and Best Practices
While InnerOrbit does not have a built-in lockdown browser, it is compatible with third-party lockdown browser providers, such as GoGuardian. Integrating a lockdown browser can help:
Prevent students from navigating away from the assessment page.
Restrict access to other browser tabs, search engines, and external resources during the assessment.
