Currently for Matching style questions in New Quizzes within Canvas, students are unable to easily change their answers once selected from the drop-down menu. The current solution proposed by Canvas is for the student to "backspace" in order to change their answer, which is not in default instructions nor intuitive to the quiz taker. We proposed a better solution to more easily change an answer in the Matching questions.

A short answer of one to three simple sentences (example: Google Forms) added to new quiz. 

1. On the "Graded" list, add Status column to the user interface Recorded/Not Started/Attempt In Progress
2. Not show the graded score while another attempt is in-progress - this is very misleading when the user does not know another attempt had been selected.
3. Set limits for attempts/prevent "unlimited" time for an attempt. Cut an attempt off after 18 hours (for example).
4. Send frequent "CAUTION" automated email reminders that an attempt is underway
5. End all ongoing attempts after logging out of EWU

When using the new quiz app for a take home exam, it would be good to allow the use of turnitin to monitor any inappropriate collusion on essay questions. 

It took me a year to realize that if I didn't turn on the Shuffle Answers option then the first answer in any multiple choice quiz question was always the correct answer.  I noticed the feature but felt sure that Canvas wouldn't always list the correct answer first.  I mean, under what circumstance are you going to want the correct answer to always be option A??  I understand that there may be a scenario where you don't want to shuffle answers, but shouldn't it clearly be the default option?  Whatever those scenarios are for not turning that on, isn't it much more probably that a quiz maker is not going to want the correct answer to always be in the same position? Creating multiple choice questions without enabling this feature results in a disaster of a quiz, and it's not particularly easy to figure out what's happening by not turning on the "Shuffle Answers" feature. 

I'm not sure if this sort of functionality would even be possible, but it would be a very useful feature for a Grade by Question option to show all answers for a particular question on one page. For example, all student responses for question 1 together on one page, click "next page" for all responses to question 2, and so on, rather than clicking through each student's exam one at a time to see the particular response. This would significantly reduce the number of clicks needed, and would also help check responses for similarities to see if students might be working together behind the scenes on exams. 

An example where this would be helpful: we recently had an exam with 70 students consisting of 40 questions - multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, dropdowns, and about 5 essay-style. For the essay answers (and fill-in-the-blank, because typos happen), using the current Grade by Question functionality we had to click through each student about 8 times (over 560 clicks). If all responses to each question showed on a single page, it would have only been 40 clicks - one click per question, and we could better compare responses. Plus it would be more efficient due to less loading time between pages.

We have several related ideas we're tracking around this request:

Add Grade by Question Feature in New Quizzes

Improve Grade One Question at a time

New Quizzes: Grade by Question on one page (this one)

BACKGROUND: In Classic Quizzes, if backtracking is disabled, students will receive a warning if they try to submit a blank answer to a question. 

PROBLEM: In New Quizzes, when backtracking is disabled, students do not receive any warning when they try to submit a blank answer. This has resulted in many of my students accidentally submitting blank answers and subsequently missing points. This has often occurred in situations when Lockdown Browser is lagging.

SOLUTION: Display a warning message if student tries to submit a blank answer on "New Quizzes" exams in which backtracking is disabled and then require that the student actively confirms they want to submit a blank answer.

Could we get this functionality added so students are warned before submitting a blank answer? Hopefully getting this fixed could be a priority since it directly affects students. 

The default Canvas quiz grading algorithm is kinda harsh.  Students lose as much points for incorrectly choosing an answer that was incorrect as they receive for choosing an answer that was correct.  So they get one right and one wrong and they net a zero.  Can you make this algorithm flexible so instructors can tweak it?  For example, I would want to change that so students get only half wrong for wrong answers vs. right for right answers.

I would love for there to be an audio option embedded in the Quizzes.Next text editor so that I could record an audio of me reading the question directly to each question. You can now record one somewhere else like Audacity and then upload the file to the question, but it's time consuming. You can record directly into a Page in Canvas, so I'm wondering if it's an easy fix to make it possible to record directly into a quiz question.
