Disable Canvas Email
Student's are using the email system in Canvas to email completed exams, both theory and practical, to themselves, then accessing that information during exams. I've disabled inter-student email exchange, however, it does not prevent student's from emailing themselves.
We've created a testing environment which utilizes the Windows Kiosk mode and prevents student's from accessing Internet resources, during exams, however, we need a way to completely disable email. This is a CRITICAL need.
This technique, combined with with the completed exams and instructors manuals available on the Internet are allowing cheating student's to make a mockery of the whole Cisco exam process and curriculum. I've watched student's not even read the questions on a CCNA4v5 theory exam, finish the exam in less than 10 minutes and score 99%!
The self emailing cheating method has been verified by the support desk and they suggested I submit my concern via the Share Idea option. Something more needs to be done to help instructors eliminate cheating, starting with the ability to disable the Canvas email system.
Tony, your NetAcad Contact will have the ability to disable students from sending emails. – NetAcad Support
