can canvas tell the difference between losing connection and logging off the page? For example my page kept taking forever to load and it kept freezing during my timed quiz, does this show as me leaving the page or does it say lost connection?

Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies.
