AI Overlay for Canvas New Quizzes Lockdown on Mac
Canvas New Quizzes ships with its own lockdown toggles from Instructure, distinct from the Respondus LockDown Browser plugin. The platform itself restricts navigation, hides results, and gates by IP, all without a third-party proctor binary running on the student machine.
Instructure built-in Quiz Engine lockdown is configured per-quiz via instructor checkboxes: Filter IP addresses, Require an access code, Shuffle questions, Shuffle answers, One question at a time, Allow Calculator (Basic or Scientific), Restrict student result view, and a hard time limit. None of these settings involve a desktop installer, kernel hooks, or screen recording. Everything happens inside the Canvas page in Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.
Native lockdown is a set of Canvas settings that run in your normal browser. Respondus LockDown Browser is a separate Chromium fork the student downloads.
Canvas only flags events the browser itself reports.
No. IP filtering checks the student public IP before the quiz loads.
Moderate logs record clicks, answers, and tab-visibility changes inside the Canvas tab.
Not through native New Quizzes.
