How do I align an outcome to a quiz question in New Quizzes?
You can align course-level and account-level outcomes to a quiz question in New Quizzes. Aligning an outcome allows you to measure student quiz performance using rating scales and mastery levels.
You can also align outcomes to a quiz.
Notes:
- If you cannot see outcomes in New Quizzes, they have not been configured for your course. Contact your Canvas administrator for assistance.
- Course outcomes cannot be added to quiz questions that already live in an item bank.
