Known issue: Quiz and exam essay answers submitted in foreign language
When students have a translate browser extension or add-on enabled, the answer(s) typed in English are translated into the selected language. The answer is then submitted in this language
Issue
There have been a number of quiz submissions where student essay responses have been automatically translated to another language. Students confirmed they answered in English and were unaware of the issue until after grades have been posted by teaching staff.
Status
Current.
This has been confirmed as caused by browser and extension settings and is not vendor related. We are engaging with the vendor to determine if any additional preventative measures are appropriate.
