Student log in

Can two people log in as the same student at the same time from different devices? I think I have a student who is sitting in front of her test, while someone else completes it for her.

Hi @CEdwards-cusd 

Canvas does not prevent multiple logins for the same user at the same time.  However, the Canvas admin can look at the person's access/pageview log to see when they logged and from what IP addess they are accessing pages.

During Covid we used ExamProctor, and where it picked up visual cues (head movements) we could identify that the student was logging in vi a second device out of sight on their knee - so if the second user is on the same access/IP address as the primary user, you'd be able to identify two devices but not whether there were two distinct users.
