If I assign a test in Canvas, do the students have the ability to open other websites or is there a setting I can use to lockdown the browser?
Hi @CynthiaKirkland ...
In general, Canvas does not have any built-in tools to lock down a browser. However, there is a third-party paid product that integrates with Canvas called the Respondus LockDown Browser, and you can find out more information about it at: LockDown Browser - Respondus. Your school's Canvas administrator would need to have conversations with Respondus about purchasing this product. Even if you had this integration, this wouldn't prevent students from using things like their mobile phone or tablet device to look up answers. For example, if your students were taking an online course from home, you might not know they had used another device to look up answers even if you had LockDown Browser integrated in your Canvas course. So, these are some things to think about as you consider your options.
I hope this helps a bit.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
