  Case: Kids sharing classroom log-in access
A teacher was conducting an in-class and online test. During the test, multiple other students that are not apart of the class gained access online and started yelling profanities causing a huge classroom disturbance during the test. The teacher has no idea who these students were but knows that one of her students must have shared the log-in access with them to cause this disturbance. She is very worried that this will keep happening and doesn't know how to minimize or deny access to students that aren't in her class. She wants to find out who shared this information and who the loose lips were. What steps can she take stop this from happening in the future and should she look into who could have shared this information?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am unsure which platform the teacher was using to conduct the test, but from my experience, I think Zoom would be the best option to attempt to prevent this issue from happening again. Through Zoom, the teacher could create a new meeting link and password each time and only share this information with their class right before the test is conducted. They could also alter the settings so that a waiting room is established. That way, each student must be let in by the teacher, ensuring that no student that is not granted access by the teacher is able to enter. Finally, the teacher should discuss with their students the issue as well as the potential consequences if it persists.
