Exams on posit cloud

[barryquinn]

I plan to run an exam of posit cloud workspace. These instructions are great

Exam mode in Rstudio Cloud or is Rstudio Server the only option?

Here's what you could do, given the current features in Cloud: Create a space for the exam Create an assignment project that is the starting point for the exam, with whatever packages you want the students to use Add the students to the space with the Contributor role via a Sharing Link (from the space's Members page) To take the exam, have each student join the space and click on the exam project (this will give each student their own copy of the exam project to work on) When the exam period is over, change the students' roles in the space to Viewer - this will prevent them from opening/making any changes to their project We don't currently have a way to prevent students from making add…

but I was wondering is a quick way to cut-off access at the end of the exam to archived the workspace?

Hi Barry!

Archiving the space is certainly a quick way to cut-off access, though it has some side effects you may or may not want. When you archive the space it will:

• Remove all members from the space (including you)
• Terminate all the content in the space
• Prevent you from viewing anything in the space until it is unarchived
• Will only be able to be unarchived by account owners, admins, or moderators

So I would only recommend this approach if it's the end of the semester, you have finished grading, and want to clean up the whole space because you are done with it.
