  • Images in other questions types pulled from item banks display for students

  • Images in stimulus questions created directly in a quiz display for students

Expected Behavior

Workaround

No workaround exists at this time.

Steps to Reproduce

Prerequisite: a course with at least one student enrolled

  1. Create a new item bank on the course.

  2. Create a new stimulus and under content, embed an image in the stimulus content

  3. Create a new quiz and add the stimulus question from the previously created item bank, then attach a question to it.

  4. Act as the student and try taking the quiz, notice that the embedded images show broken.

  5. Create a second stimulus, but this time directly on the quiz then embed the same media file used on step 2.

  6. Start a new attempt as the student and notice that this time, the image displays with no issues.
