As a homework service, Quest is entirely capable of supporting online homework, learning modules (with lecture videos embedded), and exams remotely. More than 300,000 online exams have already been administered, so while we're continuing to add functionality, you can be confident the basic processes and software pathways are extremely well exercised.
Exams can be constructed by selecting 'learning module' as the assignment type, and then selecting 'test mode'. You can enter in a specific amount of time students will have, and if you'd like, a window in which they will have to complete the assignment. We are currently testing both commercial and within-system proctoring options and will be communicating more shortly. A short overview of these options are included below*.

A: Sure, just email questhelp@austin.utexas.edu and let us know in what class(s) you'd like it dropped in (and with what name). So you're empowered to make others needed throughout the rest of the semester, please note a few features below when making a new assignment for it to be an online test.

Be overly explicit on what is and what is not permissible for this exam in the directions (ex: "This is an online-only exam. Close all other window and tabs before opening the exam, and do not use any unapproved external resources to complete this assessment. You may use a manual (non computer based) calculator. Once you start, you have up to XX minutes to complete the exam.
You can take move through the exam problems in any order you would like, using the > arrows to move between the slides. An answer is recorded once you click the blue 'Submit Answer' button and receive a 'Your response was received' note in it's place. Please note, if you select an answer choice and navigate to another slide without clicking the blue 'submit answer' button, your selected answer choice will not be saved when you return to this slide. In such a case you can navigate back to the given question and submit a solution. Answers cannot be changed once you have submitted your answer for a question. As such, we recommend only submitting answers on problems you are ready to answer, and leaving the others blank until you are ready to address them.
Please answer all questions to the best of your ability. The last page will remind you if you have any unanswered questions.
Good luck!")
