Canvas lacks a built-in method to integrate Learning Checks directly within lesson pages. Learning Checks are quick self-assessments meant to blend seamlessly with the lesson flow, as opposed to navigating away from the current page to a quiz. Instructors often resort to third-party tools to embed quiz questions, leading to account setup, licensing costs, and security issues. Moreover, tracking student completion and responses isn't feasible without native integration. A common use case is to insert a brief assessment with one or a few questions (Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer, Matching, Ordering, etc.) directly onto a Canvas Page, allowing students to self-assess their learning without leaving the lesson.
Add a feature to enable instructors to embed New Quizzes directly into Pages (or other Canvas locations) using the Rich Content Editor.
