    Hi @Al.R.4909!

    Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community!.

    Please note that within the Quizzes tool, there are some options to ensure Academic integrity. Regarding the switching of tabs during a quiz attempt, the Attempt Logs page provides detailed information about events during a quiz attempt, including quiz entry and re-entry times, and quiz completion. When the d2l.Tools.Quizzes.ShowSessionId (OrgUnit) configuration variable is enabled, you can use the Session ID column to identify when learners have multiple sessions within a quiz attempt.

    Please kindly find below the following documentation regarding the Academic Integrity in Quizzes tool:

    Academic Integrity in Quizzes

    Additionally, please find below the release notes regarding the aforementioned configuration variable:

    Quizzes – Improved quiz monitoring with Session IDs in Attempt Logs | New

    Hope this helps!

    Best regards

    Miguel B.

    Hey

    What if someone only enters the quiz one singular time and just searches in a different tab while the quiz is still opened? Can we still detect this? @Miguel.B.106

    You probably want to consider using a lockdown browser option which can be integrated with D2L if your institution has subscribed to one of these services. For example, https://web.respondus.com/
