Quizzes.Next: Aligning Outcomes to Individual Quiz Questions

[ewilliamson]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

I would like to recommend that Canvas add functionality to the LMS which would allow the user to align learning outcomes with individual quiz questions. It is sometimes the case that multiple learning outcomes will be assessed on the same quiz, with each outcome being assessed by one or more individual questions. In these instances, it would be helpful if one were able to align each question with the outcome it assesses. This would be helpful for our institution, which is a K12 institution, but I would imagine that this would benefit post-secondary institutions as well.

This idea was completed with general availability of Quizzes.Next.  You can find more information about the overall project in the Quizzes.Next User Group.‌

• Quizzes.Next is now available for all paid accounts.
• Quizzes.Next documentation will live in the Quizzes.Next User Group until July 14, 2018. On July 14, 2018, all of the documentation will be moved to the Canvas Guides in the Canvas Instructor Guide or Canvas Student Guide. 
• Quizzes.Next updates will be included in the Canvas Release Notes. This includes new features, updated features, and relevant fixed bugs. New and updated features will be deployed to Quizzes.Next near the same time as the Canvas release. Fixed bugs may be deployed at any time.

We find the Quiz capability in CANVAS to be a big positive.  It appears that a desirable enhancement to it would be the ability to tie outcomes to individual questions to enhance a pedagogical best practice: the use of cumulative testing, which we use consistently in our courses. We implement this with typically 10  review questions on a variety of topics. Thus, the ability to tie outcomes to individual questions would be wonderful. Presently, in a time consuming process, we are labeling the stem of each question with a learning objective code and manually combining the results on the exported Excel file of the quiz results.

Thanks!

Lew, thank you for the information. I will suggest this approach to my teachers. Yes, it is a time-consuming approach, but will have to suffice until Canvas recognizes the absolute need public educators have for this feature.

This is in Beta, but it doesn't really work. What is happening is the course outcomes are not pulled in to the quiz. How can we fix that?

Have you gone back in to see if your outcomes will pull into the quiz now?  At this point it takes ~24 hours for things to sync up.
