Proper Scoring (or probabilistic scoring) in a Canvas Quiz

[kmedu]

Posting this for a faculty member...

Does anyone know how to implement proper scoring in a Canvas quiz? 
 
Unlike a multiple-choice test item where examinees are forced to choose exactly one of the options as the supposedly correct answer, in a proper scoring quiz examinees assign probabilities to each of the options of a test item, corresponding to their belief in the correctness of each option. These probabilities are then used in a simple formula to calculate the score for the test item.

Currently, I implement proper scoring in Canvas by using “fill in multiple blanks” tests. These results are exported in a .csv file, and the score is calculated in Excel and then manually inputted back into Canvas. I want a way to completely automate this process in Canvas.

Is this doable or do others have this need and we can submit a request?

@kmedu I have never heard of this form og scoring, but it sounds interesting. I can guarantee though that this is not possible in the current features of Quizzes or New Quizzes. Sorry. 🙁
