Central quiz for course completion and feedback

[RichC]

The Background

The simplest way we've found of knowing if a course is complete is having a quiz at the end of a course. This way we can easily view grades to see who has done the final quiz and therefore completed. 

We thought this quiz could double up, for being course completion marker and it could also be used to get feedback about our courses. 

Our issue

So we created a quiz in a Blueprint and we were going to sync that to the end of all courses. This way we'd have only one place to update any questions and I thought the answers would be recorded to the blueprint.

This was wrong and the results get recorded to each course. This would then be tricky in collecting all that feedback data.

The Question

Is there any way to have a single quiz that appears in multiple places and the reports are in a single place?

Ideally the learner would be kept in Canvas and the number of pages kept to a minimum. As it's tricky enough to get course feedback from our courses that are open to the public.

I realise maybe Google or Microsoft forms might have to be used but it's a pity they can't been embedded on a Canvas quiz. I can embed them on an assignment but can't find a way to record that in grades that doesn't involve the learner uploading other content.

Any ideas welcome!

Sorry for my ramblings, I hope that all makes sense. 

Thanks

Hi @RichC 

What specific type of quiz data are you wanting to report on?  Are you looking for completions/grades, or are you wanting to do analysis of individual answers?

This sounds like it might be a case where Outcomes would do what you want to do.  With New Quizzes, at least, you can create an account-level outcome, align it with a quiz or an individual quiz question, then generate reports on students' results for that outcome across courses.

Thanks for the response,

Some examples of the questions on the last quiz:

1. Have you completed the quiz? (This is purely so we can easily see who has complete the course in grades)

2. Would you recommend this course? (yes/no)

3. What part of the course did you find useful. (textbox)

etc.

We're not a school, so any quizzes on the course are really just for knowledge checking and don't effect the course outcome. The only think that matters is if the learner finishes the course or not.

Outcomes isn't something I'm experienced in but I will give it a look.  Would it work to gather this data in a central place for multiple courses?

Thanks
