Can two people log in as the same student at the same time from different devices? I think I have a student who is sitting in front of her test, while someone else completes it for her.
Hi @CEdwards-cusd
Canvas does not prevent multiple logins for the same user at the same time. However, the Canvas admin can look at the person's access/pageview log to see when they logged and from what IP addess they are accessing pages.

In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
