I like designing tests in Canvas to save time on grading. How do I do to lock the browser or the screen in Canvas so the students can't go to others pages?
Hi @CatalinaMaestre
There is no built-in functionality to do this in Canvas. It requires 3rd-party secure testing/browser tools like Respondus LockDown Browser.
Are there cheaper options other than Respondus? I'm not sure my school can afford it, or enough teachers are interested in using it to justify the school making that sizeable investment.

I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?

I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
