New Quizzes: Duplicate Question

[ddrayer]

It would be helpful to be able to duplicate a question in the quiz generator. Let's say I'm quizzing students on the use of figurative language (simile, metaphor, personification, and synecdoche). I could make my first question with multiple choice answers: a. simile, b. metaphor, c. personification, and d. synecdoche. If I could duplicate the questions, I would not have to retype the four answer selections.

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

I wish. This has been an ongoing issue with canvas and in my opinion a

sick joke by the software designers at Canvas. I don't know programming

but it seems like It wouldn't be too hard if Canvas put its mind to it.

Thanks for posting.

learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer

exists.

I agree that it would be super helpful to be able to duplicate a question in the quiz generator. If I'm quizzing students on the noun cases (Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, and Ablative), I could make my first question with multiple choice answers and then just copy it.  If I could duplicate the questions, I would not have to retype the four answer selections.

Comments from Instructure

Individual quiz questions can be copied within New Quizzes. This change helps instructors efficiently create copies of individual quiz questions. For instance, this functionality is helpful for formula questions that should generate different variables per question.
