"As an instructor, I'd like a setting whereby I can set a minimum number of minutes or days between allowed quiz attempts. Ideally this setting could be varied by section or individual. So, for instance, I could allow two quiz attempts but specify that a user must wait 24 hours after submitting their first attempt to begin the next."

Thank you for your Feature Idea submission. I found the idea ( ) which was submitted in a different voting period. It may contain valuable discussion and insight for others, as this discussion moves through the voting process.
We also encourage you to check out this article that can help you maximize the exposure and support of your Feature Idea: How do I write a good feature idea submission. Feel free to update this idea to add any additional details, use cases, etc.
We are switching to Canvas in spring 2017 and I would love to have this feature...I just posted my own "idea" and was told by Stefanie Sanders about this Vote. Thanks Stefanie!
I really want this feature...saves me time auditing my students attempts.
@kmatson , the idea that is now archived only received 9 votes, which is why it was archived--it received an anemic response. The current resubmission that is now open for voting is meant to gauge whether the idea will garner enough support in this new voting period to warrant further consideration.
And, as @amcase mentioned, quizzes are being completely overhauled: see Canvas Studio: Modern Quizzing Engine. You might want to add your feedback about and provide a link to this feature in the ongoing conversation there.
This could force the student to study a little more before the second attempt and just not a quick brain dump from what they learned on the first attempt. The student might not wait until the last minute for their 1st attempt if they know there is a time requirement between attempts.
Some certification exams have this feature and it would be great to carry this over in Canvas.
We appreciate you, and the submission of your idea. Your dialogue helps our product teams prioritize feature development. Unfortunately, this idea has been archived because it did not meet the 100-vote threshold within the 3-month voting period. Learn more at:How does the voting process work for feature ideas?
Can archived ideas still become a feature? Potentially, yes. Archived ideas can be resubmitted by Community members. As people’s needs change, previously submitted ideas may gain additional traction. Feature ideas are evaluated as a whole and influence product direction.
@kathy_scott , you or anyone else who is interested can resubmit a feature idea for new consideration in another voting period as long as the archived idea has not received a comment from the product team indicating it is on their radar or that there is a specific reason for it not to be included on the product roadmap. If you're interested in resubmitting this idea, please refer to this section of How does the voting process for feature ideas work (can I resubmit an idea after it has been archive.... Ideally, you then would follow the instructions for How do I create a new feature idea? and after describing your feature idea and use cases, provide a link to this archived idea for additional context and to garner support.
This idea is one of the lucky ones that was selected to get a little more time for voting as part of our evolution of the feature idea process. It was selected because of it's vote count and/or comment thread.
*Selection criteria: Most (not all) ideas that received 70+ votes in their initial voting round.
Indeed I noticed that such a feature has been used in several Coursera courses to prevent students from only guessing the answers. Some instructoes allow 3 attempts and then the student needs to wait another 8 hours before another try.
I think that this is a really good idea. It will force the students to go back and study in order to retake a quiz. It also allows them to discuss with their teacher and peers about something they didn't understand
I agree with this reasoning. This feature would be particularly helpful in instances where questions are not being selected from a bank, so a student is likely to see the same question on a retake. Depending on the amount of time given between retakes, a teacher may be able to contact a student who has done poorly before subsequent submissions are made to try and help determine how to help the student have a better chance at success.
To set a waiting period between attempts, click theRequire time between attemptscheckbox [1]. Then select the days [2], hours [3], and minutes [4] to require students to wait before they can begin a new attempt.
Again, this will all depend on when all this gets officially released, but it appears this feature will indeed be there.
