Restricting quizzes to a single session

How do we restrict a quiz to use a single session at a time?

We often find students logging in simultaneously from different devices or even different geographical locations to solve quizzes (potentially collaboratively). Restricting the interaction to a single session at a time will make such concurrent collaboration harder. Logging in from another device/location will automatically invalidate the first session.

Hi @manoharan,

I came across your post when doing a cleanup of the community. I apologize it was not answered earlier. I believe what you're looking for is what Canvas calls differentiated assignments. This guide shows how to set that up (it shows mainly for assignments and single students, but the same basic steps work for quizzes and for sections). You can set up specific access windows for each section of the course, which I believe is what you wanted to do.

I hope this helps a bit!

Outcomes not working
Our "Outcomes" has not been working for about 6 months. Teachers can't build and attach Outcomes to new quizzes. Canvas said it was a rollover issue. Canvas won't fix it unless we pay them $2000 to "re-train" us for 10 hours. Has anyone had this problem and did it get fixed?
