Add Instructor Notes to Quiz Questions

[kelli_ritter]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

Please add a "Solutions" option on quiz questions.  We can add comments to essay questions in Canvas for students but there is no place to add "Solutions" to each question for Instructors grading the exam.  This is helpful to instructors, when grading, to see the solution as well as the student's answer.  This feature is very important on questions from a random draw pool because the instructor sees the question, student response, and solution no matter which questions are drawn from the pool.

I am so happy to see that this idea is under consideration!  Way to go  @kelli_ritter ​!

As the Canvas team begins to consider this idea I would love for them to check out my idea which is very similar and see if we could add this feature for the purpose of solutions and sample feedback.

Here is the link for my idea:

Thank you so much!

I agree Jessica!

Definitely needed.  It is very frustrating to not have a reference to the expected answer when grading essay questions.

This idea was moved from Under Consideration stage (no longer in use) to the Product Radar stage.

I would like to see a place for the instructor to add sample answers to essay questions.  Right now you can only put these in as a general comment, but then students can see these immediately after submission, which often encourages copying of my answer.  If I don't want this to happen, then I have to mute the assignment or turn off the automatic showing student their responses.  This is inconvenient because I would like students to see all of the answers at the time I have designated so they can make immediate judgments of their knowledge without me having to take extra steps or having to make sure to grade right away.
