Those are the exact features I think are stupid and wastes of time both on the educators trying to bake a lesson into these clumsy interfaces, and also the students who have to use this feature once and only once and never again for this dumb assignment in one class. They merely serve to entrench educators into using the canvas system but they offer no added functionality to education.

Canvas quizzes cannot beat the anticheat of having another screen out of view. Lock down the browser all you want, it is pure security theater.

Best anticheat is still taking the quiz on paper in the classroom. Best way to engage with students is to still speak with them and ask that they might speak up.
