According to ANGEL support: “This doesn't seem to be a bug but more expected behavior. If the password is changed, then it would be as if the student had entered the wrong password and it wouldn't ‘authenticate’ (for lack of a better term). Making changes to an Assessment while it is in progress is not recommended.”
Here are the steps we used to confirm that this does happen:
- Create an assessment and enter a password on the Access tab
- Have a student go to the assessment, enter the password, and click the Begin button.
- While the student is in progress, the Course Editor changes the password.
- When the student finishes and clicks Submit, the password window appears.
- The student enters the new password.
- The student sees and clicks the Resume button.
- All answers will be blank and the student must repeat the exam.
