Images within quizzes go into course files when imported

[kriol]

Hello,

My school is just starting to implement Canvas and I have been looking into how different activities from Moodle come into Canvas when imported. Images within quiz questions go into the course files area when a course from Moodle is imported into a course in Canvas. This can of course be problematic, in many cases students are not supposed to see the images until in an exam and sometimes question banks include a large number of images which then are among other files, making the file area very caotic.

My question: Is there a way to hide the images from students in the course files or some workaround when importing courses with quizzes?

This is a large amount of questions, so it would take a lot of time and man power to go into each question to fix it, not really an option.

Best regards,
Kristbjörg

You can restrict what students see in Files. See the guide linked below. When you import the content, just be sure to go to the File tab set the restrictions on the content. I've found its easier to create a folder with the desired settings and move all content into that folder. 

How do I restrict files and folders to students in Canvas?
