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.

I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
