Editing HTML in New Quizzes

[tgustafson]

How do I edit HTML in New Quizzes? I need to include medical records in my quizzes, with multiple tabs for the students to click through. I can do this in Classic Quizzes. However, I need to use some of the New Quiz features to create the type of questions I need. But, I can't find where I can enter HTML code into the New Quiz questions. 

I teach nursing students, who will be taking the NextGen NCLEX next year. So, it's very important to figure this out soon.

Hi there, @tgustafson ...

From what I've gathered from some other topics here in the Community, there isn't yet a way to edit HTML within New Quizzes.  However, even though this probably isn't the answer you were hoping for, I've found some other resources for you that might help a bit.  Check these two links out:

• Solved: HTML editor in New Quizzes - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
• New RCE in New Quizzes - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

I'm not sure if either of these will be useful to you or not, but hopefully you'll be able to use the "work around" until we are all able to edit HTML in New Quizzes.

Let Community members know if we can be of further help to you...thanks!

Hi! There is an Idea open right now that aligns with this well. I would rate (star) it and add to the discussion. When updates are provided, you would automatically receive them!

New Quizzes - RCE to match Canvas

Has anyone heard any updates about this idea from 2020?

I am nursing faculty as well and have actively been requesting features so that we can best mimic NCLEX so that our students are prepared.  Not to boast, but we are at 97% and really want to get back to our 100% rate.  I fear I'll be retired by the time Canvas actually listens.  Our district nursing testing committee was not able to provide a solution, and the html code for tables with tabs that our technology director provided does not work with New quizzes.  So I created an html for accordion menus that looks like an EHR.  I'm told it works with most screen readers (although I have not rolled it out yet).  Feel free to customize (see attached). 

Now if only we can get our images to stop disappearing during testing time!  We have resorted to using Edge browser which for now is the only solution.  Can't even use lockdown browser anymore or chrome.  So frustrating!  Our Dean of Technology says the server is fine. Please share if you have a solution.
