I find it completely ridiculous that students can see the entire test and results until the test closes in Canvas since there is no option to view "only once after each attempt" like there was with classic quizzes. Otherwise you have to block everything and they can't see their exam which leaves 25 students at my door waiting to go over an exam individually. I am even more disappointed by Canvas in that it looks like this has been an issue since at least 2019 in new quizzes and many posts/requests to fix this and yet NOTHING from Canvas. This is the most ridiculous feature. So if an exam is open for 2 days so students can choose when to take it, the students have all the time in the world to screenshot or record and certainly can pass it along to everyone else in the class. This is a nightmare for online classes and online testing.
PLEASE bring back "view results only once" and "view answers available to/from" that was in classic quizzes! Technology is supposed to be moving forward, yet Canvas is moving us back! I am having to go back to paper/pencil testing to protect the integrity of the test.
CANVAS, YOU SHOULD BE DOING BETTER!!!!!
After half a decade of requesting, they have finally added some of these features. However, even if you enable the 'view once' options, the questions will always be viewable unless you manually hide results. So silly! Someone has proposed the idea to add a 'view questions only once' option, but I fear I'll be retired before that happens. So in the meantime, Nursing faculty still can't use Canvas for quiz reviews because we have such a strict rigor and have to protect the NCLEX style questions from being stolen and sold.
Just thought I'd add this little viewpoint for conversation purposes: many faculty think that since students are present in the proctor environment when utilizing the results features it must be secure. However, we've had students provide their MEID to friends and family who were able to print the questions/answers/rationales while the student was in the room. IMO, that is why being able to view the questions, answers, and rationales only once after the attempt is the most secure feature.
