Restricting Canvas Quizzes by Location

Question

How can I restrict access to my Canvas quiz based on location?

Answer

This guide will walk you through the process of restricting a Canvas quiz to only work in a specific computer lab on campus. Below is a list of labs that can be limited.

Lab Canvas IP filter
Bowen-Thompson Student Union 111 129.1.33.1/24
Eppler North 220 (Interior Design) 129.1.48.1/24
Firelands Cedar Point Ctr 2008 129.1.188.1/24
Moore Musical Arts Center 108 129.1.41.1/24
Psychology 103 129.1.37.1/24

Before you start, you will need to consider whether it a individual student entire class.  You may need to contact the Registrar office if the entire class is going to use the lab.  

With the correct network range in place:

  1. Edit the quiz you wish to restrict and locate the section entitled Quiz Restrictions.
  2. Check the box next to Filter IP Addresses.
  3. In the box that appears below the checkbox, enter the network address range with /24 after the address.
    • An example would be 129.1.30.0/24
  4. Save your quiz.
