Kimberly Smith Sep 27, 2017 6:52 PM
I have been anxiously awaiting the new changes to Canvas quiz features. However, looking at the comparison list above has me a bit concerned. I am hoping that I am misunderstanding something? For example, I see that Quizzes LTI appears not to include Grading & Moderation > Add Extra Time. Would this still be available in the 'Moderate this Quiz' page? - it is an important function for students with DRC accommodations. Is there somthing new here that addresses the "Ignore Lowest' versus 'Keep Highest' within an Assignment Group issue, or options for Extra Credit Quizzes? The lack of Import/Delete Banks also has me a bit nervous. Where might I best find answers to these, and similar question? Thank you!

  First off, this feature comparison is a great resource, thanks to Canvas for publishing it!
  
  With that said, I had very similar concerns as Kimberly when I read through it and saw some of the missing items in the Quizzes LTI functionality. Some of the items make me very worried about whether our instructors will have any interest in using the new tool. In all of the presentations I've seen, there has never been mention (to my knowledge) that the new tool would not match functionality of the existing tool. When I asked our CSM about a few of the glaring omissions, she noted that several of these items that are "blank" under the LTI column are still expected by full roll out. If that's true, it would be really helpful if this resource could be updated with some type of notation for the expected features, and by when they are expected, if at all possible. That way only blanks would be left for items that really aren't being worked on or considered. This information would really help to reduce or affirm our concerns, and help us communicate and set expectations with our instructors.

  Hi Kimberly Smith
  
  Our school is just now getting ready to beta test the Quizzes.Next LTI, and not only is Moderation available, but it has been incredibly improved. Now when extending time for a student, you can extend that time for all quizzes in one shot instead of needing to open Moderation in every quiz one at a time to do this.
  
  And yes, Grading is available, just as it is with all Canvas assignments - both auto-grading and manual.
  
  I hope this helps alleviate your fears.

    Kelley,
    
    Since your school is beta testing this, does the new feature allow you to shuffle questions? I know that shuffle answers is an option, but a teacher I work with asked about this feature.
    
    Thanks,
    Christa

        Kelley, a couple of questions about your understanding about the Quizzes LTI. My understanding is that when completed the new quiz engine will include all of the functionality of the current quizzing engine, plus all the new features we have been hearing about. I know the table shows current functionality, but do you believe that as things move forward the features currently marked as only present in Quizzes will be added to Quizzes LTI? Also, watching Quizzes.Next: Modern Quizzing in Canvas, Jason Sparks suggests the ability to tag questions with keywords is in the works. Have you seen anything like this as part of the new quiz engine? This is something we would like at our institution as for some of our professional programs we need to note the topic and type of question being created so student performance can be measured against these tags. I would also like to be able to note in other instances if questions relate to a particular level of Bloom's Taxonomy.
        
        Thanks for any insight here!

        Do you believe that as things move forward the features currently marked as only present in Quizzes will be added to Quizzes LTI? Yes, but don't quote me!

        There is still some very basic functionality that I see as a must-have before this product can be released to production:
        Use existing Question Banks in LTI Quizzes
        Copy quizzes with question items into another course.
        Delete and import Item Banks.
        Moderation displaying entire course roster, instead of just quiz submitters as it currently functions,
        Create practice quizzes and surveys,

        Thanks Kelley! I agree with your list. I know this has come up in other discussions but the ability to grade certain question types with Speedgrader and integration with secure web browsers like Respondus would also be important. I realize that the new and old quiz systems will exist concurrently for some time, but many faculty will not use the Quizzes LTI if it means that they have to create some quizzes in the old system as well (such as to create a survey or use existing test banks).

        I agree, Eric!
        
        It is the transition or migration that most concerns me. Faculty will not use the new tool if it does not at least have parity with the old system, and as an external URL assignment tool, it is already behind that curve. I can deal with its LTI status, but only if there is at least parity with the existing tool, although marked improvement would be best.
        
        Faculty are rather strongly resistant to change, and adamantly opposed when there is no obvious improvement.

        I agree that being able to use existing Question Banks in LTI Quizzes is a must. Our department put a lot of time over the summer into creating banks for much of our curriculum, and to have to recreate all of that for the LTI Quizzes would be very deflating. Kelley L. Meeusen's last comment about change (especially when that change seems like a step backwards) being something many would resist seems especially pertinent.

        Hi Kelley. Not sure that it is helpful for everyone as it may be common knowledge, but I did find a way to move questions from an existing Canvas course to the Quizzes LTI bank. It is not a simple process but I wanted to move over a large number of items and it saves time versus recreating questions.
        
        I tried to export my quizzes from an existing Canvas course and using the "import content" feature of Quizzes LTI but this did not work (received an error message). I found this discussion Download Question Banks into a Readable File Format where Ken Black referenced this explanation by Stephanie Sanders, Export individual question banks.
        
        My first thought was to create a single quiz as Stephanie described by adding multiple question groups linking to each of my question banks. When I tried to import this quiz export into Quizzes LTI, I was told the import was successful but could not see any of the questions. I tried to add a question myself, and it numbered my question as though the import was successful but there were no other questions in the new bank.
        
        I next tried to create a quiz in the existing system and instead of creating question groups, I used the "find questions" feature to add all of the questions from my question banks to the quiz. When I exported this quiz and imported it into a Quizzes LTI question bank, all of the questions came over.
        
        I have to believe that as development continues there will be an easy way to move question banks directly from the older system to the new, but at least this will work for those at my institution that would like to use Quizzes LTI but not if it means recreating questions that were already made in the existing quiz engine!

    Hi Jason. I want to start by thanking you and your team for all their work on Quizzes LTI. I like the functionality of what I have seen so far. I hope you don't mind, but I was wondering if you can provide some information on top priorities as development of this tool continues. Are there particular items and features that are more immediate than others? I'm sure that a number of folks have their own opinion, but as I work with faculty on quizzing options, here are a few items that I understand are on the development plan but not currently available that if included in Quizzes LTI would would be very helpful.
    Ability to create surveys and practice quizzes
    Ability to hide the correct answers from students between quiz attempts
    Ability to import existing quiz banks into Quizzes LTI (easier than the workaround described in an earlier post)
    Ability for quiz banks and content to copy from one iteration of a course to another.
    I appreciate any information you can provide as to where these are in terms of development priorities!

      Eric,
      
      We are hard at work preparing for the general availability of the tool. This includes honing the core application for quality and scalability as well as looking at additional non-functional requirements. Our roadmap for Quizzes.Next is extensive. For now, in addition to core quality, we are planning work for content migration from Quizzes Classic to Quizzes.Next, course copy, common cartridge import support, and enhancements to the new item banks tools (favoriting, tagging items with metadata, and sharing). Surveys are on our longer-term roadmap.
      
      Item banks in Quizzes.Next already follow the user and do not need to be "added" or "re-discovered" when you are in a new course--like a new puppy, they go where you go!
      
      Thank you for your post and your on-going participation here. I really appreciate you taking the time to post this question.
      
      Kind regards,
      
      Jason

I would very much like to be a beta tester for this quiz platform. I do not know if CSUN is a beta site. I use exams as a learning tool for students. It is a course requirement for each student to prepare multiple choice items which I use in the exams. No duplicates. Reference required so must be a field for that. The exams are built by importing the items from the class Q bank. All is transparent. I would welcome the opportunity to use the new platform in the coming Spring term. Respondus worked nicely with moodle but not so well with Canvas.

  Hi Steven Stumpf, you might try getting in touch with the Instructure customer support manager for your institution about this. I worked through our CSM when we wanted to be part of the beta group. If you haven't been in contact with a CSM in the past, you might try opening discussions about this with your IT or LMS support team at your institution.
  
  Best of luck!

You haven't indicated in this list how Quizzes and Quizzes LTI compare with: Show correct/incorrect answers (LTI doesn't seem to do this) and also the ability to preview the quiz in student mode. Also it was mentioned at the 2016 intro at InstructorCon that there would be an ability for institutions to design custom question types via API, is that still true?

It apears that when you mute a QuizzesNext assignment in the gradebook, this doesn't actually prevent the students from seeing the grade because they are able to go into Assignments, click on the QuizzesNext link and look at their previous attempts with their scores. So the LTI connection doesn't seem to mute the score in the actual QuizzesNext interface. Wondering if this is on the development radar.

I don't seem to be able to comment in FAQ: Quizzes.Next, so I will add a comment here. The FAQ indicates that it is not possible to duplicate an assessment and I am wondering if that is still accurate. The "Duplicate" option appears in the options dropdown in the Assignments tool and it seems to create a second copy of the assessment and corresponding GB item. Are there any known issues with how the duplicate function works with Quizzes.Next quizzes?

A feature that's missing on the comparison sheet for Moderation options that is REALLY useful in the current (not .next) version of quizzes is the ability to add extra attempts for an individual student. Not having this feature coupled with the inability to delete attempts poses huge problems in the event that a student runs into unexpected issues while taking a quiz.

  Hello,
  
  I'm also really enjoying the unique features of Quizzes.Next for our internal training courses. Thank you for the opportunity to send the tool through the ringer ahead of a wide-scale release.
  
  The biggest holdup we have is what Marie Henderson describes. We need to hide the correct answers to ensure our technicians reach the correct conclusions at their own pace using the videos and documents we provide in preceding Pages. The course I'm designing is available to begin, progress, and conclude at any time. I'm currently setting it up to allow for unlimited attempts. The net result is that a student can take the Quizzes.Next quiz once, jot down the correct answers, and take it a second time with all the correct answers.
  
  We are still soliciting feedback from my team so this omission is not halting progress; however, it is holding back releasing the completed modules to technicians who need this information. Is there a timeline on this quiz setting in Quizzes.Next? To be overly clear, I'm referring to the row in the table above called "Show Student Response Options." Thanks!

  Hello Autar,
  Now that Quizzes.Next is available to all Canvas customers, the developers are working on getting Quizzes.Next to feature parity with Canvas Quizzes. This means that all functions of Canvas Quizzes will have an equal or better solution in Quizzes.Next. Canvas Quizzes will remain available for the duration of this feature parity stage and for some time after that is achieved.

I've been using the bata all year and the one thing that I am really concerned about is that immediately upon completing the quiz students see their responses and the correct responses. It is practically impossible to prevent cheating when one student can finish the test, take a screen shot of the correct answers and then air drop it to the rest of the class.

Also, what is the point of multiple attempts if the students can see the correct answers after the first attempt?

This is a must fix issue. The old system has the functionality to hide correct answers. Will this be fixed on the LTI before the start of the school year?

  Thank you for sharing your experiences to help us in the community better understand the current limitations. I'm sure that we'll have instructors with this same concern if/when we turn on the feature for our campus. It would be great to hear if there are any work arounds or if this is on the radar to be fixed/changed.
  
  Sounds like something they would want to include on the Known Issues page, unless of course this is their intended implementation.

  Hi Hannah Crowder,
  
  The ability to restrict the submission results page from students will be available after the start of the school year -- that is after mid September. It is on our immediate roadmap and the initial code-level work is in progress.
  
  Canvas Quizzes will continue to be available and exist alongside Quizzes.Next for some time as noted on the main page of the community area.

Several features are checked off, but only partially or not really implemented.
For example, these claims are not accurate.
1. Included in Course Copy ✓ ✓
2. Manage Question Banks/Item Banks ✓ ✓
3. Copy/Move Banked Questions
✓ ✓
1. The itembanks are not copied in an export or course copy, only links are provided to the banks in the LTI, and they will only be accessible or editable by their original creator, not by a new instructor.
2. Only the original creator can manage Item banks, and even then there are serious, unresolved hassles. Only the original author can see, copy, and move banked questions, and there are difficulties in moving when an author has more than 50 banks. And how many courses will it take before an author reaches that #?

  Thank you for sharing your experiences to help us in the community better understand the current limitations. I'm sure that we'll have instructors encounter these hassles and frustrations when we turn on the feature for our campus.
  
  Sounds like something they need to add to Known Issues, unless of course this is their intended implementation.

  Hi Ken Mayer,
  
  Course copy will copy a Quizzes.Next assessment successfully, and schools are using this in their course template process. Since it is possible to copy a single quiz through the course copy functionality, there have also been instructors sharing assessments across courses outside of the typical template workflows.
  
  Quizzes.Next item banks are not in Canvas and are currently only accessible from within Quizzes.Next. So they will not be included in course exports, just as Quizzes.Next assessments won't. Since item banks are tied to the user that created them and not to a course, they are no longer affected by a course copy.
  
  Our future development plans include item bank sharing between users. Part of this vision will reduce the need for so much duplicated content and thus better manage bank content integrity. Unfortunately in the meantime each instructor will need their own item bank. If you are exporting content from Canvas and importing into a Quizzes.Next item bank via a QTI file, each user will need a copy of the file and to perform their own import. Do you think that item bank sharing will address the need course-based question banks did in Canvas?
  
  Also, the 50 bank limitation will be removed soon.

We have discovered Quizzes.Next does not support the “Grader” role in Canvas. In the “Grader” role when attempting to grade a quiz in SpeedGrader the following error appears. Please update this feature comparison page to include the lack of functionality for this role.

A key component that should be on this document is that quizzes.next does have an HTML editor. I'm not going to beat a dead horse, as others have commented on this already, but this would be really helpful, especially for stimulus items.

Other key components that are missing from developing quizzes in quizzes.next include (source):
1. Record audio and video via tool in the RCE
2. Content Selector Sidebar
3. Accessibility Checker
4. Apps and LTI tools
5. HTML Editor
6. Media Recorder
7. Right-to-left/left-to-right formatting buttons

  Addendum to the above...
  
  It looks like you can embed iframes after all with the below workaround:
  Click the "insert/edit media" button.
  Click embed.
  Paste or write your embed code. Make sure you have it just right (size, etc.), as you cannot edit after-the-fact.
  Click save.

    Which feature is this comment about? I can't find iframes or embed in the feature chart above or any comments. Thanks!

      This is a work-around to embed iframes in Quizzes.Next.

This isn't the right thread, but I don't know where to ask this one. Is there an update on the Respondus Lockdown Browser? I know this in their court, but any info available would be helpful. Lacking this feature makes Quizzes Next a no-go for our teachers.

  Hi Richard. The last update I heard about Respondus was from an Instructure employee working with Quizzes.Next this summer at the InstructureCon unconference. I summarized my impressions of the discussion here, Quizzes.next. I hope this is helpful!

    Thanks, Eric. Not the answer I was hoping for time wise. My teachers won't be using Quizzes Next until this is resolved. This is too important to test security.

Perhaps the table could be updated to include variation in Feedback given for questions? eg Quizzes tool allows feedback for each answer whilst Quizzes.next allows only feedback for right/wrong answers
