We used to have large slabs of white-painted plywood held up by steel (or were they iron??) brackets. Candidates had limited elbow room, and we couldn't lift the boxes of them they were so heavy!!! After a complaint/ suggestion by the Prog Man of Computing we secured a budget for 50 privacy filters at what I thought was a reasonable price, and this included two filters for my PC, as my monitors face the office door. PM now happy we can run exams using modern technology, invigilators happy that they won't get hernias running IT exams and EO happy he has another thing under control - but unhappy one of the filters has already disappeared!!!

We decided to use Scotch 'Magic' tape as it doesn't leave a stick residue when removed. We don't have a dedicated on-line testing room, so have to put privacy filters up in whichever room we are allocated. One two-inch strip at the top of the screen to secure the filter usually does it for us! Our filters also came with some double-sided tape to stick the filter directly to the display area, which I have used on my work monitors. Not completely permanent, it comes off easily enough if a small tab is used at each corner rather than a whole strip. We're always interested if anybody comes up with a more elegant solution....

At the moment we have the ones that attach to the PC screens with little plastic tabs, these in time have broken off and we have resorted to using blutack to keep them in place! Does anyone know if you can buy screens with the privacy element built in? Thank you for you help.
