New Quizzes Does Not Lock After Student Submissions

[mhaynes]

I have looked for solutions to this online, but haven't found anything.  I was SHOCKED to learn that when locking a quiz in New Quizzes with available until dates does not prevent students from being able to access tests they have already taken.  The point of using Canvas for tests in my opinion, is not having to manually grade and review each test question with the entire class (takes too much time I dont' have).  Therefore, I always select that students can see their own responses as incorrect and then see the correct answers with them.  I assumed that once they saw this and exited out of the quiz that they would never be able to reopen that as the "available until" was always set to the end of the class period.  I was informed however that the students can open them up and see the whole tests at any time and that they were using them as "study guides".  The person in charge of Canvas issues at my school said that the "available until" only referred to when the students can actually take the quiz.  She said the only way to keep them from accessing the quiz after it is submitted is to not check any boxes so that they can't see anything after they hit submit.  That defeats the purpose in my opinion!  Is there another option that she missed?  Also, is there ever going to be a way to copy a New Quiz to a "Classic Quiz"?  I think that Classic was much more user-friendly and NEVER would have begun creating new tests in New Quizzes had my college not told us that Classic was being "phased out"?

Hi @mhaynes, I am sorry you are experiencing problems with New Quizzes settings. You can always enable the setting to allow students to see the quiz results after taking the test during your class period and toggle the setting back off after the exam has ended. 

New Quizzes to Classic Quizzes - we have instructors who had a need to revert exams created in New Quizzes back to Classic Quizzes. Be advised that not all question types are compatible with Classic Quizzes (Hotspot, Categorization etc.). Start the process by exporting the test in New Quizzes. Go to the import page in the course and import the file as a QTI.zip file. After the import, check the Questions tab in the new Classic Quiz. If you do not see your questions or you are missing questions, check the Question Banks page. The import process can sometimes move the questions to a question bank. Click on Find Questions on the Questions tab to insert any missing questions. 

I hope the above information will be helpful to you.

Thanks for your response.  I followed your instructions and have located the imported content after I clicked on "manage question banks".  Luckily the imported data was timestamped and easy to find.  Once I do that however, am I supposed to click "move multiple questions"?  I'm guessing if that is the case, that I must create a brand new classic quiz prior to selecting that option so that I have some place to move it to, is that correct?  I'm just making sure because this really seems more laborious than I was anticipating.  I was hoping that there was just some sort of "create classic quiz" button.  Thank you!

The steps I described usually create a classic quiz and it might move questions into a question bank. You can either locate the quiz it created or create a new quiz. After editing the quiz, you can click on the Question tab and use the Find Questions option to add your questions to the quiz. 

This is the only way we have found to move a new quiz back to a classic quiz.

Ok that is strange and I wonder why mine did not create a new classic quiz automatically.  I'm assuming it would be pretty evident and in the listing of all quizzes for the course.

Hi @mhaynes,

Your school/institution Canvas administrators have a few switches to control the behavior of quizzes around classic vs new.  It could be that they want to drop support of classic quizzes at some point in the near future and have configured some of the switches to default things to New Quizzes now, and perhaps not even allow classic quizzes to be created anymore.  That would be my guess around the import process anyways...
