Exercise Signature

Exercise Signature Exercise Signature adds an electronic-signature step after a student finishes a test attempt, so their completion can be authenticated — useful for compliance or certification contexts. It does not touch scores, answers, or gradebook data; it only records a signature alongside the attempt.

Turning It On for a Test

Open the test's settings, where two checkboxes appear:

  • Signature activated — Adds the signature step to this test

  • Signature mandatory — Requires the signature before the attempt is considered complete

What Students See

After submitting the test, the student sees a Sign button opening a signature pad (draw, clear, or cancel). Each attempt can only be signed once, and only by the student who owns it, after the attempt is complete.

What You See

When you open a signed attempt's result page to review it, the student's stored signature image is shown automatically alongside their submission.

Tips

  • Make it mandatory for anything that needs authentication — Otherwise a student can skip signing, and you'll have some signed and some unsigned attempts to sort out

  • It's a signature, not a re-verification — This plugin does not verify identity by itself; combine it with other measures (e.g. Exercise Monitoring) if identity assurance is the goal
