Canvas and Moodle run inside the browser sandbox. That means they can observe what happens on their own page, but they cannot freely inspect your computer, your installed extensions or other private tabs.

The confusing part is that quiz platforms can still log focus changes, page visibility and copy restrictions. Understanding that difference helps you avoid myths.

What LMS quiz pages can usually detect

A quiz page can receive browser events when it loses focus or becomes hidden. Teachers may see logs such as stopped viewing the quiz page, page left or time away from the quiz.

  • tab or window focus changes
  • page visibility changes
  • copy and paste attempts if blocked by the page
  • time spent away from the active quiz window

What they cannot normally inspect

Without a locked-down exam browser or separate proctoring software, a normal website cannot list your browser extensions, read unrelated tabs or scan files on your device.

Where QuizSolver fits

QuizSolver is most valuable as a study assistant: it explains questions, saves your history and helps you revise. The side-panel workflow reduces unnecessary tab switching while you review visible quiz content.
