Hi all,
I'm learning about Mastery Paths in quizzes, and I'm wondering if this use case can be made using MPs.
Q1. Would you nominate the speaker to return?
A1. Yes
Q2. Please select the seminar they should return for:
Seminar 1
Seminar 2
Seminar 3
A2: No
Q2. Would you like to provide any feedback for improvement for this speaker?

For A1, we would require radio boxes for the student to choose from, so I'm not sure if this would be another quiz inside a quiz?
Many thanks for your insights!
Hi Joanna Lau - Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, the answer is basically no. Mastery Paths does not allow paths within the same assignment, but rather differing paths to different assignments based on the results of the first assignment. While YES, the entire quiz score can form that basis for a mastery path, answers within the quiz cannot insofar as pointing the student to a different question within that same quiz. You can see a basic overview here: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10442-4152668299 . I also recommend you take a look at Kona Jones posting on Hacking Mastery Paths, where she shows some inventive ways of using them. But again, the basics would be: create quiz; score quiz; point student to different assignments based on quiz score.
The scenario you describe would involve branching operations to be done within a quiz, which Canvas is not capable of at this point. There is a Feature Idea out there, however, that I believe describes what you are looking for, and I encourage you to add your comment to it and vote it up: https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/4148-adaptive-learning-quiz-branching .
One platform that you may be acquainted with that DOES allow branching to occur is within Google Forms through the use of sections. There is a bit of information on that specific topic here in their help, though if you do not know Google Forms at all you should perhaps start your journey on understanding them here. They are actually quite easy to use, and the students do NOT have to have a Google account to take a survey....only you do. That said, the use of Google where you record student names may cause some privacy issues, depending on Canadian laws. (Here in the US it is called FERPA.) If you are not recording names and just doing an anonymous survey, though, it may be fine.
I hope this helps a bit!
