Hello!
There is a good chance that we will be transitioning to Moodle from a custom Asp/access db distance learning webpage. My question is this:
We currently have a password for each quiz that the student does not know. The student is supposed to take the test in the presence of a "Mentor" to be sure they aren't using notes, looking up answers, etc.... The password is given to the mentor and right now it is the same password for all of the mentors.
Does moodle have anything comparable to this system? How can I implement such a thing?
Thank you!

Hello, Eric,
When you set up a quiz, you do have the choice of password-protecting the quiz or not. In addition to requiring a password, you may require a network address, by the way.
I think that you might find this document useful - http://docs.moodle.org/en/Quiz_module
Hope that helps a bit.

Just as Art said this is very much possible. Both, course as well as each individual quiz can be password protected, network address can be specified and some activity locking is also in mode. Security wise, moodle has very little to complain about, if at all 
It seems problematic to have a universal password for the activity, as you have to rely on students not to share the password with each other and then claim to have taken the test in the presence of their mentor. I think a better solution would be to allow generation of unique passwords per student with the capability to automatically email the password to the student's mentor.
