The Canvas Quiz feature serves as a versatile assessment tool that enables instructors to evaluate student learning and gather feedback through various online formats. This functionality supports both formal testing environments and informal learning checkpoints, accommodating different pedagogical approaches and assessment needsIntroduction
Eventually, New Quizzes will replace Classic Quizzes, and there will be more communication on that transition once the timeline is fully established.
What Types of Canvas Quizzes Can I Make?
This traditional assessment format assigns point values to student responses, making it ideal for formal evaluations where performance directly impacts course grades. Students receive scores based on the accuracy of their answers.
Designed as a formative learning resource, this option allows students to test their knowledge and receive feedback without grade consequences. It serves as a valuable study tool for self-assessment and skill reinforcement.
This format awards points simply for participation rather than answer accuracy. It's particularly useful for gathering student input, opinions, or reflections while still contributing to their overall course participation grade.
This option focuses solely on information collection without any grade impact. It's perfect for course evaluations, feedback collection, or gathering student perspectives on various topics
How Else Can I Use Quizzes as an Instructor?
