Return to a page after taking a New Quiz?

[kmallen]

Hello,

Is it possible to direct where the New Quiz "Return" button takes students? I'd like to include a New Quiz sequentially between pages in a module and have my students navigate to the next page upon completion of the quiz. When I was in Student View, my experience as the Test Student jumped me back to Modules after taking the New Quiz.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi, Kristin!

I knew we had had a similar question before, and it's in our User Group: New Quizzes‌. Check out this thread and see if it helps you out: https://community.canvaslms.com/thread/23079-will-navigation-get-better-between-canvas-and-quizzes-n... 

Thanks,

Erin

Hi @erinhmcmillan,

The thread, from 2018, that you refer to includes no real solution, just people frustrated, for the last three years, that no solution has been found by the folks at Canvas.

In short, is there a way to include a New Quiz in the middle of the module and have the students be able to navigate to the next page in the module when they've completed the quiz, rather than just the useless "Return" button at the top of the page that takes them completely away from the module they're supposed to be working through?

Module navigation was updated to include New Quizzes in the July 2021 release: please refer to the  Canvas Release Notes (2021-07-17).  Students who are taking a New Quiz that is part of a module progression will now see a Next button at the bottom of the quiz. If your students are still reporting that they're unable to progress to the next module item by clicking on the Next button, please ask Canvas Support to investigate.

The "Solution" is not what is being asked! If the creator of the page is using a menu page with links to different parts of the course then the user needs to be returned back to the menu page . This is not a solution to the problem.

I would also like to see a solution to this issue! I don't want to return to the quiz page, like the "solution" suggests, but to return to an actual page after submitting a question. I have seen other "solutions" to a similar thing where we are told that we can embed content into the quizzes, whereas what we want to do is embed a quiz into a page. Not having this functionality is really problematic.

@GILLIANALDUS I whole heartedly agree. I want the student to land back on a menu page - not on the NEXT button. I will look for other solutions in the mean time.

Agree with this! When the student finishes their quiz and sees their result, they must click "Return" (a tiny pale gray button in the upper right). Then, they are returned to the Quiz introduction page (the one that has the instructions, and a "Begin" button if there are still attempts left. If there are no attempts left, the button says "View Results"). At this point, the student has scroll WAY down to the very bottom right to find another tiny gray button: the next button.

My use case is I am using Mastery Paths, and based on the score on the quiz, different pages are revealed. So what they see when they click next depends on their score. However, many students never get there because of this terrible UX. I would like exactly what the OP asked for - to go straight from the results screen to the next item in the module.
