Reopening Quizzes for Zero Points?

[MICHAELWOLLER]

A few of the students for a class I TA for have asked to retake quizzes as practice for an upcoming exam. Is there any built in feature in Canvas that allows me to reopen quizzes that give correct answer feedback without it affecting their original grade?

E.g., the student got an 8/10 where they saw their correct/incorrect answers, but now they want to retake the quiz for practice. So they take it again and this time they get a 10/10, however, this doesn't replace the initial 8/10 they got in their gradebook.

I know I can just reuse the question bank items in a separate quiz that is ungraded, but instead of making 7+ extra quizzes that will show up in their assignment pages, is there just a way I can do what I described above? Hopefully this makes sense, and thanks for the help.

@MICHAELWOLLER -

I was just looking through unanswered questions and found yours.  If I understand what you want, I do not know of anyway to do that in Canvas.  As you stated, I believe the only possibility is to create a copy of the quiz and make it worth 0 points.  There are lots of different ways to set that up on Canvas and it sounds like you know of how to do it, but do not want to because of the extra clutter in the assignments area and the gradebook.

Good luck.

You can set the quiz to allow unlimited attempts but to take the grade from the first attempt.

Thanks for that follow up.  Just to clarify for others that may find this thread.  the first attempt setting is for new quizzes only.  Classic quizzes has 3 possible settings for the score to keep, but first attempt is not one of them.
