The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Hi all,
I recently evaluated Canvas's new quizzing interface and the results of the Reorder Question type seemed like they would be confusing to screen reader users.
If I set up the question where the correct answer is:
Chicken
Egg
The Question
And the student responds with egg and chicken switched, the results page would read as follows:
“Incorrect” “Egg” “Correct” “Chicken” “Incorrect” ”Chicken” “Correct” “Egg” "Correct" "The Question"
I want to encourage Instructure to provide a better results setup. The following is my initial suggestion that should be fairly easy to implement with the current visual representation, but I'm not sure that it is the best suggestion.
“Answer position 1” “Egg” “Incorrect” “Chicken” “Correct Response” “Answer position 2” “Chicken” “Incorrect” “Egg” “Correct Response” "Answer position 3" "Correct" "The Question"
Do you have a better suggestion or is this pretty good?
