Security Manager

Introduction

Once you have published your sessions via SESSION MANAGER, you will need to prepare them for your students to take the tests/reviews using SECURITY MANAGER. You will access SECURITY MANAGER through the web. The address will be:

http://gquiz.gc.maricopa.edu/qm_username/security.dll

You will be asked to login. Your username and password will be given to you when your account on GQUIZ have been created. Many of the tasks needed to done for the instructor and students should already be done if you have properly requested access for your class through the Innovation Center. If not, contact Mike Aragon in the Innovation Center (53462).

Groups, Participants and Sessions

SECURITY MANAGER manages four main areas: groups, participants, sessions, and schedules. Groups are created per class and section. Participants or students are then assigned to the proper group. If you have notified the Innovation Center that your class will be using Perception, this step will automatically be done as students register for the class. From SECURITY MANAGER you can see the sessions that have been published to the server.

Scheduling

Once you have verified that your session has been published, you will want to schedule your session for your students. To setup a scheduled time for your class to take a particular session you began from the GROUP screen.

From the GROUP screen select the proper section(s) and then click the ASSIGN button. This will take you to the following screen.

Select the session from the Session name drop down menu. Type in the Schedule Name (this is what the students will see) in the Schedule Name text box. Select whether or not you want to limit attempts to login and how many attempts to allow. If you use this feature with a group you must select the Create schedule for each participant for this group option. (Keep in mind that if you set the attempts to 1, and a student incorrectly logs in the first time he has used up his one attempt and you will have to reschedule that student to have access to the test. My suggestion is to leave this option off and instead use the limit time feature.

To limit the time that the session can be accessed by the students, click the Limit Time option. Select the date and time the schedule start and stops remembering that Security Manager uses military time (i.e. 4:00pm = 16:00). Once you have made the proper selections click on the ADD button.

You will then be taken to the Schedule screen where you can verify your scheduled session. If you need to make a correction, simply select the proper schedule and click the EDIT button and make any necessary corrections and click on the UPDATE button. To remove a schedule session, select the proper schedule and click on the DELETE button.
