Any suggestions for improving quiz features?

[JennyNordeen]

A student reported the following concerns when taking a quiz:

• It often jumps you back to the first question.
• The flagging option is not great.
• It's hard to tell what questions you've completed and answered and which ones you still have left.

Do you have any suggestions for improving any of these features for the student?

Sincerely,

Jenny

Do you know if the quiz is utilizing the Classic Quiz interface or the New Quizzes interface?  Here's a visual difference between the two:

• Quizzes Overview (Students)
• New Quizzes Overview (Students)

As you may be aware, Instructure (the folks who make Canvas) are not putting much development time into Classic Quizzes any more.  And, Classic Quizzes will eventually be phased out.  Rather, they are focusing their attention on New Quizzes.  If your school is not yet using New Quizzes, you might want to have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator(s) to see what their plans are for making New Quizzes available for you and your students.

As far as making suggestions for enhancements to Canvas like you have mentioned above, you can create new ideas here in the Community site so that others may have the chance to evaluate it during the open voting windows.  You can read more about how all of this works by visiting:

Community - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com) -- Check out the links under "Ideas and Themes".

Hopefully this information will be helpful for you.  Looking forward to hearing back from you about which quizzing interface is being used for that quiz.  Take care!
