New Quizzes- Quiz with a question group to randomize quiz question?

[JaniceMortensen]

I am an instructor and I have used Canvas quizzes in the past to build question groups so I can randomize questions individual students receive, and so if students use more attempts they get a slightly different version each time. I am trying to build a new quiz and I do not see this function in new quizzes. The Canvas guide for this feature makes no distinction between the directions for doing this in the classic quizzes vs the new quizzes, and does in fact list as one of the steps that the instructor should choose either classic quizzes or new quizzes. I would love to resolve this without breaking my question banks into much smaller banks.

The Canvas guide specifically for adding all/random questions from an item bank seems to work well for my instructors. It's important to note though that New Quizzes does not have question banks; it uses item banks instead. Same concept, but you will need to convert your question banks into item banks to be able to use them in New Quizzes. 

Hope this helps!

Yes, this is what I ended up doing. It's not a perfect solution for me though because the item banks are quickly growing in number and I'm having to duplicate questions between banks. This will allow me to have, for example, everything from say section 2.3 in one bank, as well as another bank for each question that I'd like to have multiple versions of. This means the overall section 2.3 bank has lots of duplicate questions that are slightly different, so it's won't be as useful for chapter reviews. Ideally I'd have more categories for each section, such as graphs/critical thinking Qs, but it doesn't seem like this is going to be very practical.

The way I have used Canvas quizzes before let me focus on what I wanted in each quiz, and see the details of each question while building the quiz, as well as easily see how many questions are in that pool. This way requires a lot more back and forth to get an idea of what the final quiz has in it (i.e. I can't see any questions, only notations of what bank those questions are pulled from; furthermore, I can't see directly from the quiz build how many questions are in that bank, I only get alerted if there aren't enough).
