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.
How do I access ASOR assignments the Unit 1 - Exercise 1a, 1b, and 1c? This is the instruction I got; Use the green Program Navigation button on the right to navigate to Unit 1, EXERCISES 1b, 1c and I am not aware where the green program is located. Please help
Suggestion: IB and AP are moving to all digital. Currently, if we want peer reviews for in class essays, we have to use the assignment feature. Could we use the quizzes feature so we can use the lockdown browser AND also assign peer reviews? This would help support the integrity of the timed essay.
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…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
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…
