Effective teaching practice and built-in Canvas features can make online exams more secure without the need for a proctoring service. Canvas Quizzes already offer multiple security options for hosting online assessments, and using different combinations of features provides varying levels of security.
In this session we will cover the best combinations of Canvas Quiz features and pedagogical practice for your online assessments. For example, using multiple Quiz Banks insures no two exams are ever the same. Combine this with time restrictions, specialized question types, and answer randomization for the best results. There’s no need spending hours setting up a proctoring service when you can use that time to produce superior assessments.
