I would like to restrict students from taking screenshot in courses or exams. How can I do that? Thanks in advance.
@tm_05 -
Based on the question, I am assuming these are online quizzes in Canvas. If so, the only way I could think of that would be using something like respondus lockdown browser with monitor(especially if they are remote and not in a class room).

Good luck

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
