The legitimate alternative · open-resource quizzes

Study smarter on Canvas LMS.
Get the edge.

Open-resource means open-resource. But Canvas logs every tab switch as suspicious — even when your professor said the calculator is fine. CanvasEdge keeps your study workflow off the activity log, where it belongs.

Not a cheating tool — CanvasEdge never touches your answers or your grades.

What the activity log records

Same student. Two activity logs.

Canvas flags every tab switch as suspicious — even when your professor said the calculator is fine. CanvasEdge stops logging behavior that was never against the rules.

Sample comparison. Referencing your notes, calculator, or textbook on an open-resource quiz isn't suspicious. Your activity log shouldn't say it is.

The toolkit

Three tools that give smart studiers an edge.

Built around how students actually study — open-resource quizzes, multi-attempt review, and the focus to actually get through them.
