Could you explain a little more about what you're experiencing as you build a quiz? Are you working in Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes? What are you hoping to see in Canvas that is currently unavailable?
When banking a stimulus, just the stimulus is saved. For stimulus in an item bank to actually be of any kind of use to anybody, the questions connected to the stimulus should be saved in the bank with the stimulus. I am working with new quizzes and found threads and questions about this dating back to 2015, so it is not exactly a new issue.
I agree! I just spent two days creating a quiz with stimulus questions that each had three questions attached to the stimulus. I just assumed that I could item bank those and randomize the stimulus question and the attached questions would follow. THEY DON'T. This pretty much makes the stimulus feature worthless for what many people need. This is a huge flaw. Please fix.
I agree that this should be a very high priority for improving Canvas New Quizzes. The Stimulus question type is USELESS to me without this functionality.
I need to have a set of questions (in a specific order) permanently attached to a stimulus in order to ask my economics students a series of questions all related to the same market data, (ie, walking them step-by-step through the process of finding the long run equilibrium given a certain pair of Supply and Demand functions) so that I can offer in one quiz a variety of versions of the market data. Otherwise, the students cannot take different versions of the same quiz.
Since there is no way to pose a series of related questions drawn from my item banks, I have to make each question drawn randomly from my item banks a stand-alone question. It would be so much better for my students if they could work through one problem that unfolds over multiple quiz questions.
I see little point to adding a stimulus to an item bank if drawing the stimulus from the item bank does not also add to the quiz the questions that were designed to accompany it.
Yes, this issue really needs to be solved. It is absurd that Canvas hasn't been able to improve the functionality of stimuli/associated questions in new quizzes. I'm seeing similar requests from years ago; I can't believe that it hasn't been improved by now.
