Creating quizzes in Canvas is quite easy and straightforward. In Canvas, quizzes can be created under ‘Quizzes’ (Quiz index page)<\/em> or ‘Assignments’ (Assignments page<\/em>) on the course menu. Any quiz that you create will appear on both the\u00a0Assignment page<\/em> and Quiz index page<\/em>. There are 4 types of quizzes<\/a> available: a practice quiz that does not contribute to the course total mark, a marked quiz, a marked survey, and an unmarked survey.<\/p>\n

Check out this short video showing how quizzes can be created from both the ‘Assignments’ and ‘Quizzes’ course menu items.<\/p>\n

There are currently 12 question types<\/a> available in a Canvas quiz. If you use these creatively, you can create even more types of questions. For example you can create Likert scale quiz questions<\/a> for your course survey using the Multiple Dropdown<\/a> question type. Apart from hotspot question type, Canvas quizzes have similar number of questions types available as compared to Blackboard quizzes. Check out this Canvas Instructor Guide<\/a> for more information about those different types of quiz question and how you construct them in your quiz.<\/p>\n
