[ARCHIVED] Why can't I randomize questions in a quiz?

Why can't I randomize (i. e., shuffle) questions in a quiz?  Answers can be shuffled.  Why not the questions?

Please, note: I am not asking about how to make a Question Group.  Rather, when I make a quiz, I want to be able to randomize the questions which will be seen by the students -- just like Canvas allows me to shuffle the answers.

Thanks!

Hello  @mdunn_adjunct ‌, you are almost there if you do use the question groups.  I am assuming you are using the classic quizzes and not new quizzes since shuffling questions is part of the settings choices in new quizzes.  

For classic quizzes, you put the questions in a question group and use the choose function and choose the same amount of questions that are in the group, ie. 10 of 10.  This will randomly pull 10 questions from your set and it will be different for each user.

Hope this helps!
