error_outline A licence is needed for the Schoolyear integration. This can be received by contacting  Schoolyear.

Schoolyear partners with Ans to deliver a secure testing environment for students. By enabling the integration with Schoolyear, the testing environment for students on private laptops (Bring Your Own Device) will be secured. Schoolyear temporarily locks the students' screen to prevent students accessing other documents and applications during a digital test.

Within Ans, you are able to set the settings per test, in order to match the configuration with the goal of the test.

Install the Schoolyear integration

Install the Schoolyear integration

To use Schoolyear in a digital test, you will first need to configure the Schoolyear integration. To configure Schoolyear, follow the steps below.

  1. Click the School name.
  2. Click  Settings in the menu at the top.
  3. Click Integrations in the menu on the left. 
  4. Click Configure in the Schoolyear-section.
  5. Fill in the host, tenant, API key and API secret.
  6. Click Configure.
Manage the Schoolyear integration

In the Schoolyear integration settings, administrators can manage 'Course access', 'Allow access to Schoolyear exam settings' and also uninstall the integration.

Course access

The Schoolyear integration supports course-level access control to allow where the integration is available. To change course access to selected courses only, follow the steps below.  

  1. Click on 'Selected courses only'.

  2. Enter the course names that should have access.
  3. Click Update.

When switching to course-level control, any courses that previously had access will have the integration disabled until the access is granted again. To change the course access to all courses, follow the steps below.

  1. Click on 'All courses'.
  2. Click Update.

Allow access to Schoolyear exam settings

In the settings heading, you can check the box 'Allow access to Schoolyear exam settings'. This allows administrators to control how instructors access the Schoolyear exam settings.

When the toggle is on, as is the default, instructors can access exam settings directly without having to login to Schoolyear. When the toggle is off, exam settings are not directly accessible from Ans. Instructors must sign in through Schoolyear and access the settings via the proctor dashboard allowing clearer control over authentication and exam security.

Remove the Schoolyear integration

In the settings of the Schoolyear integration, it is possible to remove the Schoolyear integration. Removing Schoolyear will delete the integration from all courses. This action cannot be undone. To remove the Schoolyear integration, follow the steps below.

  1. Navigate to the in the Danger zone section.
  2. Click on Uninstall.
  3. Click Confirm in the warning.
