Not really --
I use Canvas to pump out information to my class, links to Zoom recordings, etc.
When it comes to grading, our students use ExamSoft, which locks down their computers and just allows them to word process. I grade the printed out copies of the exams. The multiple choice is on bubble sheets which get scanned and spit out scores, statistics on questions, etc.
I also use TWEN (proprietary to West Publishing). It has online resources, practice quizzes and the like.
I insist on some redundancy so the scores aren't in the ether. I have colleagues who give exams entirely through Canvas and yesterday was not a good day.
