Randomizing multiple groups in Canvas exam

[Tech20]

I have an exam consisting of 10 different groups (10 question banks), each group contains 8 problems on the same field. So the exam consists of 10 problems. I know that questions within each group can be randomized but what about randomizing groups? I don't want my students to have the same type of questions in the same order!

For example, student #1 will have his/her first question from group 5 while student #2 will have his/her first question from group 2, and so on.

I appreciate any help.

Hi @Tech20 

While that sounds intriguing, it is not possible in Canvas. You could suggest this as a feature for New Quizzes in Idea Conversations in this Community. Canvas is no longer making improvements in the legacy quizzing tool.

• How do idea conversations work in the Canvas Community?
• How do I create a new idea conversation in the Canvas Community?

Good luck,

Kelley

Okay. Well, that's disappointing. Shuffling all questions in the entire canvas quiz rather than just shuffling each group questions would be great! Hope this can be fixed in the future. Thank you.

This still needs to be a feature in Canvas...
