A few months ago Google announced that it will allow us to TRY a feature that will
allow us to assign a google forms quiz in LOCKED mode so students can not surf
the internet during the test.
For those who have already signed up for the test you should have received an email
notifying you. If you haven’t then make sure you have put in a work order to
have your outlook email connected to your schoogle fake email so you get notifications. Directions here

We ask that you submit feedback through the “Send feedback” button in Forms. In
the case where respondents are able to escape locked mode and open browsers
during quizzes, please send us feedback using this form. We’d like to help resolve
any issues as quickly as possible, so we appreciate the feedback. Additionally,
throughout the pilot we may ask instructors to fill out surveys on their overall
experience with locked mode. We look forward to your participation and the
opportunity to gather your feedback to improve this feature.

2. You can assign the quiz in google classroom or share a link on wits or wits mail
3. Students cannot right click copy...but they can ctrl+c copy and then past some copied
questions when the quiz is over. It doesn’t help them but they could share with friends
taking the quiz later.

Notify Google of this and other glitches by using the feedback ? in the lower right or left of the google forms page. 
Solution: If you are worried about this one way to combat it is to break up your quiz
into sections so after every few questions students proceed to another page and can
only copy on page of questions.

reopens a quiz...like they are checking the questions and then looking up answers.

open in locked mode. This will NOT work on a desktop. Copy and past the quiz
link and have a student try it with you on their device if you don’t have one.
