[OPEN] Duplicate classic quizzes in course analytics

Issue Documented: 2025-09-19
Canvas

Engineers are currently investigating the issue.

Description

A classic quiz or a discussion topic that is an assignment can show up twice in the resources tab, when the resource is viewed on both mobile and web.

  • This happens because resources show up based on whether they are viewed. When a resource (quiz) is viewed from the web, the quiz is clicked through through the assignment tab, but we classify it as a quiz. When it is viewed on mobile, we classify it as an assignment.

This might cause a quiz or discussion topic to appear twice in the resource list or the resources dropdown when using “Message Students Who” have never viewed a resource.

Expected Behavior

Quizzes and discussion topics should only appear once within Course Analytics resources and when trying to use the Message Students Who option.

Workaround

No workaround exists at this time.

Steps to Reproduce

No steps to reproduce are available at this time.
