Is there a way to submit a drawing in a Quiz?

[petrie]

I would like my students to freehand draw a logic circuit that corresponds to an expression.  I see there is a calculator option if you want to include a calculator for a question in lockdown browser, but is there a drawing pad for canvas for students to submit a drawing or handwritten answer?  I do want them to draw the answer during the quiz with lockdown browser.

Hi petrie Welcome to the Canvas Community.

It appears that others have had this question also.

My talented colleague  @Chris_Hofer ‌ has answered it previously and explains it well here https://community.canvaslms.com/thread/24246-is-there-a-way-for-a-student-to-draw-like-actually-draw... 

Sing out if you need a hand.

Hello,

I am trying to find the answer to this questions, but the link where @Chris_Hofer answered it has been archived. Do either of you have the information that was on the thread?

TIA!

@masantos ...

I can help answer your question...as @Bobby2 isn't in the Community much any more.  If you take a second look at the link in her posting that now goes to a page indicating the content has been archived, you'll find a section at the bottom called "What if I lose access to something I need?".  In that paragraph, there's a link you can click on to fill out a form to request that the page be restored.  You might consider filling out the form if you would like to see the content within that page.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing this, Maria.  Having drawing questions with proctored exams is a need our institution (Arizona State) has as well.  I've created this request for upvoting: https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/15639-quiz-question-type-drawing

I'd love to have this for my chemistry course- it doesn't appear that I can vote for it anymore- did you get any feedback from Canvas?
