Garrett,

We are a Sakai shop and have plans to move to MFA this fall.  We have the same concerns that you are having.  We 
haven't seen much in the way of malicious behavior but several faculty have raised concerns over cheating.

All,

I am curious if anyone is currently using or looking at using MFA in front of their LMS and in particular Canvas? As 
the new norm is pointing towards far more online learning that we will eventually see more interest in maliciously 
accessing course content.

The scenario I am thinking of is that of hacktivist catching on to the news stories that are challenging the idea that 
HigherEd is offering a watered down product at the same cost and then posting course material online that they obtained 
illegally. Of course nothing is stopping someone with legit access from doing the same but I think less feasible in my 
mind.
