Restrict access to the Exam based on the IP address of the user.
I just learned on the forums of the Netspace community that there is a possibility how to check what IP address the student last logged in from, but it is an option available only for managers. I think that is a very important option for instructors also to restrict access to the exam for students in the classroom based on the subnet of the user (during the activation of the exam) . And I give the example of this option on the other LMS (Moodle for example), where you'll can restrict access to the test based on the subnet of the user, specifying a list of addresses. This allows for example to give access to the test only for students of a classroom. It will be a very beneficial option on Netspace !
Thanks for your feedback. After technical analysis, it has been determined that security options can’t be met. One recommendation may be to implement proctoring of assessments if this is a considerable concern at your academy.

I've found I can restrict exams based on IP address in the settings in Canvas but for some reason the network academy has "administratively locked" the settings that would allow the IP addresses to be locked-down in Canvas. For example: For my midterm and final exam that I've written I can lock-down the IP addresses. But I cannot lock down the Academy Chapter Tests and Final Exam.

One of the reasons I often use our local LMS (D2L) is because I can restrict my Midterm and Final exam to a certain IP address range. I usually have very low weightings on the Cisco Academy chapter exams and Final exam since all the questions can often be found on various websites.
