[New Quizzes] One Device Only While taking Exam

Problem statement:

Several students have accidentally logged into Canvas using the same account. When they accessed a quiz, both devices were allowed to enter, acting as the same student.

Proposed solution:

Set up Canvas quizzes to ensure students can only access the quiz on one device at a time.

Problem statement:

Students taking a quiz can receive remote assistance from others. This is possible because a quiz can be accessed on multiple devices simultaneously using the same student account. A student can share their username and password with another person, who can then log in to the quiz from a different location and on a different device at the same time as the student taking the quiz. This allows students to receive unauthorized support during the quiz.

Proposed solution:

Implement a feature that restricts access to a Canvas Quiz to a single device at any given time. Once a student starts a quiz on one device, they should be prevented from accessing the same quiz on any other device simultaneously.
