[New Quizzes] Group Quizzes

 

I propose the ability to make a quiz a group quiz, like you can for assignments. As a course gets larger instructors would like the ability to automate the activities to include more students and not have to rely on TAs to get things done - we also think this would save in-class time. We realized that not all students are bringing devices to class and it would help if a group quiz would allow one student to submit a quiz he/she has submitted for a group.

 

To sum up:

- group quiz

- all students would receive credit as it is a group activity

- just like a group "assignment"

2022-07-12 -- After reviewing this long-existing idea, the Community Team has determined that this request will remain Open. While it was authored when only Classic Quizzes existed, the idea can be applied to New Quizzes as well. Ultimately, this will reduce the number of duplicated Idea requests and allow the conversation and collaboration to exist in a single space.

We have a real need for this sort of thing now, since we're using Canvas for some of our advising and cohort groups. Our instructors have a need to be able to administer pre-program and post-program tests for groups of students within a single course. I would love to see this re-visited!

I am conducting experiments in Canvas on a weekly basis and I need to separate the students into different groups for experiments (designed thi quizzes). Group quizzes are extremely helpful and necessary.

 @gulseren_mutlu ‌, the vote buttons are at the very top of this idea. Here's an example of how the Vote up button might look to a logged-in user who has not yet voted on a particular idea. According to the list of voters, you have already voted.

Still wondering why this is still in voting.  It's been in voting for 3 years.  Could we please get some feedback?

We use team-based learning in several courses at U of Minnesota, College of Pharmacy. We need the functionality of a group quiz for our team readiness assessment tests (tRAT). We also would like to incorporate the suggestions from "Submit multi-question assignment question by question" so that our student groups can get immediate feedback on whether they got the question right. If they got the question wrong, then we would like to give them the opportunity to discuss and then retry (select another answer). We would like the functionality for the instructor to incorporate a percentage of points deduction for each attempt (e.g. 1 point if group answers correctly first time, 0.5 pt if they answer correctly on 2nd attempt).

This is an excellent idea. It has applications across the board especially for formative assessment and as a basic learning tool.

I do team based learning as well and it is quite cumbersome to track 40 teams for the tRATs in our 200 student class, so I'd love to be able have this addressed!
