Right now, when a student submits a quiz, Canvas immediately lets them see the questions and, depending on settings, their responses. For high-stakes or staggered exams, this challenges the ideal of Academic Integrity.
What we need is an instructor-controlled toggle to hide all quiz content after submission — no questions, no answers, no feedback — until the exam’s “Until/Close” date has passed. Once the exam window closes, instructors can choose what becomes visible.
Why This Matters:
Because students are clever, collaborative, and sometimes a little too helpful with each other. If they can see the questions right after submitting, they can immediately share them with others who haven’t taken the exam yet. That puts academic integrity in jeopardy, especially when assessments run across multiple sections, modalities, or testing windows.
Benefits:
Protects assessment integrity Supports staggered testing and multi-section coordination Gives instructors precise control over when students can review content Reduces question-sharing without removing useful feedback options
Extension:
This mimics the in person testing. In class once they submit the exam, they don't see it again until the instructor hands it back to them corrected. They don't get to look at the questions and write them down for their friends.
