Summary
This article outlines settings that must be applied to Canvas Classic Quizzes that are administered at the Boise State Testing Center. Canvas' New Quizzes tool is not currently supported for exams at the Testing Center.
Applying IP Restrictions
Once the exam is created, on the quiz settings page, check the Filter IP Addresses box.
Click the Magnifying Glass to select pre-saved IP filters.
Select the Boise State Testing Center & PACS option. This will populate the IP address ranges in the field on the settings page.
Ensure that the availability dates under the Assign settings are set correctly. Exam availability settings should match the dates that the instructor requested on Registerblast.
Be sure that no access code is set for the exam. Testing Center assessments IP restriction instead of passwords.
Click the Save button at the bottom of the settings page.
Applying Lockdown Browser
If Lockdown Browser is already enabled in your Course Navigation Menu, skip to Step 3 below. Otherwise, click the Settings link in your Course Navigation Menu, then select the Navigation tab.
Enable Lockdown Browser and click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
Click the Lockdown Browser link in the Course Navigation Menu.
Click the arrow next to the name of the desired exam, then select Settings.
Under the padlock, select Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam.
Do not set a passcode for the exam. The IP restriction settings applied in the section above will prevent test takers from accessing the exam outside of the Boise State Testing Center.
If your exam allows students to use a calculator, expand the Advanced Settings list and specify the type of calculator you would like to allow.
All other Advanced Settings should remain disabled for Testing Center exams.
Click the Save + Close button.
The exam should now say Required on the right-hand side in the Lockdown settings area.
Note
The Require LockDown Browser to view post-exam feedback and results must remain unchecked. This feature is intended to allow show exam results outside a proctored environment by locking down students' computers while the correct answers are shown. However, this does not pervent exam material from being leaked in other ways (cellphone photos, etc.). Using this feature is not recommended. Additionally, there is a known issue where this setting prevents students from seeing results if the exam is configured to show the answers only once after each attempt.
