A first panel allows you to block access to certain functions, for example to take an exam without the help of the corrector, but with the help of dictionaries and guides. Access can be temporarily closed for a group of students, and then restored after the exam.
A second component allows you to hide certain content, such as audio pronunciation, translations or access to Web resources.
