Google Lens

What is Google Lens?

Google Lens is an AI-powered tool integrated within the Chrome browser. Its features include providing students with step-by-step explanations, videos, and web results for math, science, and history problems. 

Please note that students may have access to these features on their personal computers. 

How can I deter students from using this feature?

To prevent the use of Google Lens during online quizzes or exams in Canvas, we recommend utilizing the Respondus Lockdown browser for all quizzes/exams. Respondus will restrict access to features, including the Homework Help button through Google Lens. Below are some resources for using Respondus

The Academic Technology team is available to discuss how best to set up Respondus in your courses. You are welcome to join any of our open support Coffee & Answers sessions
