What is a Privacy Shield?

A privacy shield is a trifold board that surrounds a student’s workspace or computer to reduce cheating and outside distractions. Teachers and administrators alike have seen the incredible results from using these shields (cardboard study carrels) in classrooms and testing centers. Unlike similar product lines from our competitors, we offer both standard and adjustable privacy shields to help you choose the right product for your space. While our standard shields fit on typical desks and tables, the adjustable models offer varied use for trickier spaces of many sizes.

Using privacy shields as part of your classroom or testing center helps build a culture of accountability. When students know that they are solely responsible for their quiz and test results, they often become more engaged in classroom lessons. By preventing cheating, these computer dividers also help encourage student study habits. When students are able to work hard for better scores and see their results, this teaches important lessons about hard work and a job well done. Teachers can also be sure that scores are a more accurate reflection of their students’ abilities. As a result, teachers can gain valuable feedback and adjust lessons to target weak content areas.
