[New Quizzes] Why does Deleting an Assignment also Delete a Quiz File

0 Likes

Problem statement:

As currently configured, if I delete an Assignment (a quiz), Canvas also deletes the quiz from the course. This makes little sense to me. I should be able to have a quiz that I spent hours creating remain in the list of quizzes – perhaps in an “Unpublished” category. This quiz was a New Quiz and I am also unable to categorize that quiz as a practice quiz. I also can't reformat a New Quiz to Classic and can't export a New Quiz. Or, give instructors the option “delete assignment but keep quiz” – there is no such option currently.

Proposed solution:

See above. (1) Allow instructors to delete an Assignment while retaining the file or quiz that is linked to that Assignment. (2) There needs to be a way to reformat a New Quiz as a Classic Quiz. (3) Instructors should be able to export pieces of a course, not just classic quizzes or an entire course.
