OPEN SUBMISSION

 The teacher enables 'Open' submission for an individual quiz and optionally uploads a PDF of
questions to present to the students. 
 The teacher distributes a single URL to all of their students.  The students use this URL to access
the online answer sheet. 
 The students are prompted to enter their names as they should appear in the 'name' box on a
virtual form.  If a student ID section is available, they are prompted for what value to put there.
 On submission of the virtual answer sheet, if the student ID entered matches a student record
within the ZipGrade system; the paper is automatically connected to that student
 All submitted papers appear in the 'Graded Papers' section of the quiz on the website alongside
any papers graded via scanning within the mobile app.
 CAVEATS:
 Because we cannot verify the student, there is nothing stopping a student from entering
bogus data in order to view the questions before taking a quiz for real.
 For the same reason, we cannot limit submissions since a mischievous student could
enter another student's name and/or ID number.  

"Verified" submission is only available for ZipGrade account that has defined Student records and have
assigned students to Classes.  

How to use 'Verified' online submission of quizzes by students

 A student portal is enabled as an account setting on the 'My Account' screen

 Students are assigned Student Access Codes, which are visible, exportable, and resettable on
the 'Students' tab
 Teachers distribute the individual Student Access Code to each student along with their existing
Student ID number
 The student logs into the Student Portal (https://ZipGrade.com/student/) with their Student ID
number and Student Access Code  to view quizzes assigned to them
 The teacher, on the individual quiz screen on the website, assigns each quiz to each class with
options including:
 Time/Date Window when student may begin quiz
 Time Limit: How long is the student allowed for this quiz once they begin
 Multiple Answer Key PDFs: The students are randomly assigned a question PDF from
those uploaded by the teacher
 Show Score and Questions On Submit: On submission, show the student the graded
paper 
 CAVEATS:
 Student and class records are required
 Because there is a submission limit, if a student accidentally submits an answer sheet
they will not be able to re-take a test unless you remove that graded paper.
