FAQs

Can Canvas detect cheating? ›

Through the Quiz Log function, the system will detect when the person taking the online test opens a new tab or browser, recording and reporting any suspicious action. Canvas can also avert cheating by locking the browser during the exam. Canvas tracks the time spent by the student on each question.

The short answer is no. Canvas itself cannot discern whether content has been written by a human or AI. Canvas focuses on providing tools for coursework management and delivery rather than policing content origin.

The system won't automatically notice a split screen unless the student actively clicks away from the active Canvas test page. It's important to know that Canvas becomes more capable in detecting and even restricting split screens during proctored tests when tools like Respondus Monitor and Proctorio are used.

Method 1: Right-click anywhere on the webpage, and at the very bottom of the menu that pops up, click Inspect. Method 2: Click the hamburger menu (the icon with three stacked dots) on the far-right of your Google Chrome toolbar, click More Tools, then select Developer Tools.

Proctored tests: In proctored exams, Blackboard or Canvas can detect the switching of tabs through the use of a proctoring software known as Respondus monitor. Switching tabs might result in the software flagging the user and redirecting them back to the test page.

How can I tell in Canvas if my exams use Proctorio? Within Canvas, navigate to where your exams are located, typically in Modules or Quizzes. If the quiz title says “Remotely Proctored,” Proctorio will be used with it.

Canvas by itself cannot monitor screen sharing. Professors can only tell when students log into Canvas and what files they have opened. Also, instructors can look at your canvas profile and see if you open it with another device.

In a normal assignment environment, Canvas cannot detect screen sharing or screenshots if a student is working on them using a normal browser. The system cannot detect what you do outside their current page. However, if proctored, Canvas can detect and prevent screen sharing or taking of screenshots.

While Canvas does not quantify or guarantee the accuracy of these logs, they may provide some insight into each student's interaction with the quiz. Canvas Quiz Logs can provide some information about: When the student started the quiz attempt. How long the student spent answering each question and in what order.

Yes and no. Your webcam is recording you during your test, but no one is watching your exam in real time. Honorlock uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to monitor your session, and, if it senses that something is wrong, it will trigger an incident flag in the session recording.

Can Canvas tell if you use AI? ›

AI-Writing Detection Tool in Canvas

SimCheck (a Turnitin product) is an integrated plagiarism tool within Canvas. It provides both an Originality Score (percentage of submitted work that is found elsewhere) and an AI Score (percentage of submitted work that is potentially written by AI).

The short answer is yes. Professors can detect conventional content generated by ChatGPT with a likelihood of 74%. A recent study called 'Testing of detection tools for AI-generated text' looked at over 12 publicly available tools and two commercial systems (Turnitin and PlagiarismCheck).

ChatGPT content can pass a plagiarism check if it is sufficiently original and does not closely mimic existing texts within the plagiarism checker's database. However, given ChatGPT's training on a vast corpus of text, some outputs may inadvertently resemble existing materials.
