Know what your Canvas quiz records before you take it

What Canvas quizzes usually record, and what you can control

Students typing does canvas quiz track your activity into a search bar usually want a direct answer. In most courses, Canvas records quiz start times, submission times and the number of attempts, and instructors can see that history. Whether anything more is recorded depends on what your instructor enabled, such as a lockdown browser or a third-party proctoring tool that may use a webcam.

• Canvas typically logs quiz start times, submission times and attempt counts.
• Partial answers may be saved as you go, so an unsubmitted attempt can still appear in the record.
• Lockdown browsers limit actions during a quiz, but they do not replace Canvas's own logging.
• Webcam or screen monitoring only happens when your instructor or school adds a proctoring tool that does it.
