[ARCHIVED] Locking a Quiz-no cheating

[erinpittman]

Is there a way to lock a quiz on Canvas so that the student cannot go to the internet to get answers?

Welcome to the Canvas Community!!!

There is not a native setting inside of Canvas that does this.  You would need something like Respondus LockDown Browser to accomplish this.

Hi Eric, I don't use a lockdown browser, but I do let the students know that the quiz keeps a log of when they leave the quiz page, how long they take to answer a question, etc.  You can see it when you use the "Speed Grader" option.  If I see that they left the page multiple times or for more than a second, they will get a zero.  If they have other electronics handy, they could get around it using those, but I also set a time limit on quizzes so that they can't take too long searching for answers if they do try.

Erin, sorry I mistyped your name earlier.

Thanks for that link, Stefanie!  I do use several of those features (very helpful), but I was wondering how some of the others worked.  I am bookmarking that page now!
