UVA has this in use as a local customization. This is a jira for contrib.
The IP Address column in the Tests & Quizzes Event Log exhibits the following behavior:
When the student starts a quiz, the IP address at the time of clicking Begin Assessment is logged.
When the student submits a quiz, the IP address at the time of submission replaces the previously logged address.
Instructors want to use the IP Address column to check on suspected cases of cheating. For example, assuming dorm IPs are in a different address range from the IPs elsewhere on campus, having all IPs listed might help instructors to catch a student who starts a test in the classroom, leaves to go back to their dorm room and look up answers, and submits from the dorm room. Consequently, all IP addresses where the student had a specific test open should be shown. So for example:
A student clicks Begin Assessment when connected on the IP 172.18.33.198. They save and quit.
They switch to IP 185.18.33.186 and don't access the test, but start doing something else (e.g., reading resources in a site).
They connect to 216.30.181.183, go back to the test and click Continue Assessment. After working on it some more, they save and quit again.
They switch to IP 192.18.33.186 and don't access the test, but start doing something else.
The timer automatically submits the test.
Both IPs in use when the test was open should show up in the Event Log for the associated take: 172.18.33.198, 216.30.181.183.
