A whole page of “how to…” videos, courtesy of Tony Vincent. Ah, brings back happy memories. Only kidding.
I found these via Glen Moses’s rant about how “mobile phones can be used for cheating” is a really naff excuse for banning them.

In 2002, I sat on the committee that wrote British Standard BS7988: Code of practice for the use of information technology (IT) in the delivery of assessments, which subsequently morphed into ISO/IEC 23988 Information technology — A code of practice for the use of information technology (IT) in the delivery of assessments. In retrospect I think we, too, over-focused on the technical aspects, and largely ignored the way that many problems (not just cheating) carry over from paper to electronic means of assessment.
