[New Quizzes] Regrade All

Problem statement:

I am a teacher in a school coming from Moodle and there have been instances where a question needs to be regraded En Masse (non-essay type questions). The procedure in Moodle would involve fixing any error in the answer and afterwards clicking the Regrade All button.This would see the test remarking all the submissions for all the questions from all of the students against the questions set inclusive of any changes made after the fact. As it stands now the version of the quiz that is set initially for students in New or Classic Quizzes remains and this has been a major inconvenience to teachers who have had this feature to rely on in Moodle. Even in New Quizzes where regrades are available it only allows for regrading one question at a time.

Proposed solution:

I am proposing a Regrade All button to be placed in the Moderate this Quiz page. This button will regrade all non essay questions against any changes made to the questions used for the test.

Problem statement:

I currently teach a large undergraduate lecture section. I recently attempted to adjust the number of points that each question was worth in several of my quizzes in the course to make all of the quizzes worth a uniform value. After inputting new point values for my quizzes, Canvas has now marked each quiz as ungraded and now requires manual grading, despite all of the questions being multiple choice questions. In order to adjust each of my quizzes' point values for all of my quizzes, I would need to manually regrade over 4,000 quizzes with multiple questions in each quiz, again despite all questions in all quizzes being multiple choice. This could easily mean manually regrading over 12,000 questions, all for a quiz that was originally automatically graded. Adjusting point values for questions is something that would have been very easy to do using Blackboard when my institution used that LMS, and without manually regrading 4,000 quizzes.

Proposed solution:

I am requesting that Canvas enable the ability to adjust points for quiz questions with the option to have that quiz automatically regraded, rather than manually needing to grade each question of each quiz.
