FAQs

Can teachers know if you open a new tab? ›

Without proctoring software, instructors might see that there's no activity on the Canvas site but won't directly see that you've opened a new tab. However, if the quiz is being proctored using software like Respondus Monitor, switching tabs can be flagged as suspicious activity.

Q7. Can Google Forms detect switching tabs? Yes, if you have the AutoProctor add-on installed. In the Proctor settings of your AutoProctor add-on for Google Forms, enable Tab Switching in the Tracking options.

Online, this is a bit trickier, but instructors can still observe students' screen activity. They'll look for sudden changes or movements on the screen that might suggest a student is switching tabs.

Schoology can indeed sniff out when you're flipping between tabs during a proctored exam, but here's the catch: it won't rat you out for what exactly you're looking at. It's like the digital version of a nosy neighbor – it sees you sneaking around, but it doesn't know what you're up to exactly.

Is it even possible for teachers to get notified if their students are cheating? Well, the answer is no. Google Classroom uses Google Forms to prepare quizzes and assessments, and the latter has no such functionality to track cheating.

Can Teams detect switching tabs? ›

However, currently there is no tool/feature that can use as an administrator to see/track if a student switched tab during the middle of a meeting or even opened another browser to perform any other activity in Microsoft 365/Teams.

Absolutely! Online exam systems often come equipped with built-in data forensics tools that act like detectives, analyzing test-taking patterns for any suspicious behavior. Frequent switching between tabs, accessing unauthorized websites, or unusual activity flags, all raise red flags for teachers.

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.

Re: Can MS forms detect tab-switching? @xpig380 no it can't.

Can school administrators see deleted history? School administrators can see both deleted and un-deleted history, so you must keep your browser clear of any browsing history. You should also be careful not to store any sensitive information on the school computer or laptop. Better yet, get a VPN for school wifi.

How does canvas detect when you are cheating? When you copy your assignment or answers directly from the Internet, the canvas will flag your plagiarism. It also enables the teachers to monitor how many times you switched tabs during the facilitation of the quiz.

Yes, professors can see other tabs if your online test is proctored or the testing page uses JavaScript's Page Visibility API to identify a change in the test page's active status. However, tests that require a LockDown Browser would restrict students' ability to open or switch tabs during tests.

Can a website detect other tabs? Some functions of JavaScript can detect changes in browser tabs. However, even if a website detects that another tab has been opened, it cannot determine which website is in it. It also cannot tell whether a document has been opened in the other tab.

Yes, you can still see a student's screen even if they are on Incognito mode. However, we strongly recommend that your school or district disables Incognito Mode on student devices. Contact your school's IT support to configure this for you.
