You can create a quiz by finding questions from question banks.
You can add questions from all of the question banks that you have built in other courses where you are the Instructor, question banks that have been added by your administrator to your sub-account, and question banks you have bookmarked in other courses. If an outcome is aligned to a question bank, referencing the question bank in a quiz will also import the associated outcome to the course.
Canvas will reference the questions you choose as each student takes the quiz. These questions will stay in sequential order and stay in order each time the quiz is taken or previewed. If you want to randomize quiz questions, you can add them to a question group.
Note: When you Find Questions in a question bank, changes made to questions in the question bank will not update in the quiz. Changes will update in the quiz only if the questions are linked to a question bank.
In Course Navigation, click the Quizzes link.
Click the Add Quiz button.
If your course has New Quizzes enabled, you must select a quiz engine.
Question banks can only be used in Classic Quizzes. To create a classic quiz, click the Classic Quizzes option [1].
