the authority to modify the Question banks for the last semester

[uja2223]

The instructor was unable to correct the Question banks in the following cases:

• Question banks for the previous semester with an end date

Only the manager could fix the Question banks. How does the instructor correct the Question banks in a course with an end date?

Is the instructor using Classic Quizzes? I reuse and modify question banks all of the time. Have the instructor "import" the question banks into the target course. This will create a duplicate question bank. Then the instructor will be able to add, delete, and modify questions to the new question bank. (These changes won't affect the original question base in the old course.)

Thank you for your kind answer.

But I don't want to copy and modify the Question banks. I'd like to revise it directly from the original Question banks of last semester.

However, when the instructor approaches the Question banks of last semester, the edit button is not visible. Is it functionally impossible?

Hi @uja2223,

If your institution is like ours, which I'm guessing is the case based on your description, courses will essentially go into a read-only mode (for faculty and/or students) upon their completion.  This can sometimes help in keeping a somewhat accurate record of work and activity within a specific course, which can be beneficial in cases of grade disputes or other issues that could arise in the future.  Unfortunately, it does mean that modifications to content need to be made somewhere other than that course.  We allow faculty to request what we call a "work in progress" site for a course, which can be modified at any time and then imported into the next official course shell when it becomes available.  Maybe this would work for you if your Canvas administrators would allow it.
