Hello @DeletedUser
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with Chrome extensions.Unfortunately no, we cannot ban extensions on browsers for all users across out platform. However, if your students are using school computers or they are taking these tests on the school wifi - your school could ban them. If the students take them at home, then you will want to explore proctor services available through Canvas like Lockdown Browser or Proctorio.

There are others as well and many schools use this and there is a good likelihood your school already pays for it. Please reach out to your school directly to discuss options.

Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
