E.g. allow access to more exam material not embedded into the quiz or an Encyclopedia for research during exams. Open Internet access seems like a really bad way to provide that. There are maybe 5 different ways I can think of off the top of my head that are quick to do that circumvent a view-source restriction if the rest of the browser is enabled. Sure, an enterprise admin might know to disable (some of) those methods, but if they're smart enough to do that, aren't they also smart enough to set up a kiosk display? Kiosk apps aren't some kind of new technology, these get used all over the place. I'm curious about the intersection between teachers/admins who are not well-equipped enough to avoid using anything other than Google Forms to deliver tests, but that are well equipped enough to build a network policy that blocks students from just sending each other test answers during the test. I don't know, I don't want to be cynical here, but this kind of thing is literally the job of a network admin, isn't it? It's why you hire them, to set up stuff like this.
