Canvas records assessment activity, and institutions may combine it with separate proctoring or browser-control systems.

Canvas activity records

Depending on settings, instructors may see attempt timing, submission events, question progress, and other assessment logs.

External tools matter

Lockdown browsers, plagiarism detection, video proctoring, and identity systems have their own capabilities and policies.

Do not rely on detection myths

The correct question is which resources the assessment permits. Follow those rules even when a particular action may not be visible.

Prepare for a clean attempt

  • Close unrelated materials
  • Test required technology early
  • Keep approved resources ready
  • Report technical problems immediately
