Hi @kevin_redding, As you've discovered, the assignment point value and quiz point value can be different in New Quizzes. For the most part you'll want to make sure the point values in the assignment details and quiz builder match, but there are scenarios where an instructor would want to have a quiz with questions worth 20 points that only counts for 10 points in the Gradebook or vice versa. The assignment point value is what will display in the Gradebook. While what you're trying to do isn't technically a regrade, you can fix the assignment point value using the regrade tool. To do this, open the assignment details page for the quiz and enter the correct total point value, then click Save. Next follow the regrade instructions to regrade any question on any student's submission. You won't be making any changes to the correct answer or point value and will keep the option to "Award credit for correct answer only"--the regrade just serves to push the assignment point value change to the Gradebook. Once the regrade is applied, refresh the page and you should see the total point value and student scores updated in the Gradebook.

Once had a student complete a quiz 61 times because they weren't sure which version would be kept. 61 times!!

@TiffanyStull Regrading in New Quizzes is always applied only per question. When you regrade an auto-graded question currently, it applies to all submissions containing that question, but does not affect other questions unless you regrade them separately.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎04-14-2022

There are a few reasons for regrading a quiz. These include needing to: change the correct answer change points value for the whole item change points values on individual answers (if applicable) Currently, it's only possible to regrade automatically graded questions in New Quizzes. The "Regrade" option should be applied to Essay and File Upload questions, too, since an instructor may need to change the points possible for a question or quiz after students have submitted and there's not an easy way to do that outside of Canvas.

New Quizzes has a "Shuffle Questions" option that randomizes the order of all the questions without having to use item banks. It works well, but instructors also need the ability to pin a question in place when questions are shuffled, like they can when "Shuffle Answers" is enabled. Why this is needed: One strategy for improving exam security is to start by having students answer a question where they agree to adhere to the institution's academic integrity policy. This needs to be the first question but its placement currently can't be guaranteed if "Shuffle Questions"--another option for improving exam security--is also selected. Students have the ability to pin a question if they want to return to it, so it makes sense that instructors could also use pins to have certain questions appear in a specific order.

Adding SpeedGrader and especially DocViewer functionality to file-upload questions in New Quizzes would save significant time spent grading and make New Quizzes the superior quiz engine.

Multi-part questions are frequently used in STEM and business assessments. My workaround has been to build these questions as multiple fill-in-the-blanks instead, but those offer limited formatting and then you lose the answer options (margin of error, within a range, significant digits, etc) you'd have for a numeric question. Multiple part numeric questions would be a huge win.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎02-04-2022

I'd love to see filter by section and by individual student.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎02-03-2022

When you open the Quiz Statistics in Classic Quizzes, you can filter the results by section. I would love to see this feature added to the Quiz and Item Analysis report in New Quizzes! Even better would be the ability to filter by section or by individual students.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎02-02-2022

@nwilson7 I agree that it would be helpful to see only the assigned students in the Moderate page for New Quizzes. If the instructor had added the extra time or a time multiplier by editing the students' "Accommodations" rather than using the "Moderate" link next to their names, the extended time would have been available for the other quiz copies. Applying an accommodation for a student will extend their time on all future New Quizzes. Using the "Moderate" button will apply the extended time only to that specific quiz.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎02-02-2022

@MerileeLarsen Are you using New Quizzes? If so, you can click on the Moderate tab in any New Quiz, then click to edit an individual student's Accommodations. I like using the time multiplier to automatically extend the student's time by a certain percentage, rather than adding a set amount of time (eg, a student who always receives 50% more time would have a time multiplier of 1.50). The best part is that the accommodation will be applied for that student for all their future quizzes/exams using New Quizzes. It is a huge time-saver! If you edit the Moderate link next to a student's name, it will allow you to add more time just for a specific quiz and not apply to future quizzes. New Quizzes also lets you set accommodations while the quizzes are still unpublished, which makes it much less easy to forget to add them. The improved accommodations features were a big part of the reason for my institution to switch to New Quizzes.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎02-01-2022

In New Quizzes, the Quiz and Item Analysis under "Reports" shows the Quintile Performance for each question. This is helpful in identifying how many students answered each question correctly. For Multiple Choice, Multiple Answer, and True/False questions, there is also an Answer Frequency Summary that shows the number of students who submitted each answer choice: This data is hugely helpful! I know it's more difficult to code open-text responses and would result in longer reports, but would be ideal if this could be expanded to other question types, including numeric, fill-in-the-blank, matching, ordering, and categorization. This would give instructors much more insight into where students may be struggling with certain topics.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎09-16-2021

I would LOVE to see "Restrict Student Result View" turned ON as the default in New Quizzes. It's very rare that instructors want students to be able to see their responses and correct answers immediately after taking a quiz (and especially before their peers are finished so as to prevent answer sharing). At The Wharton School, we've enabled Manual Grade Posting Policies for every course. When quiz scores are released prematurely through the New Quizzes UI, it negates the workflow we have set up to manually release the scores through the Gradebook. It's really easy for teachers to forget to check the "Restrict Student Result View" setting, too.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎07-12-2021

The 6-19-21 Release now makes all Item Banks visible and editable to admins and adds a link to the course navigation menu for easier management (if New Quizzes is enabled for your account). Hooray!! The only issue now is that there's no way to filter all those Item Banks. If you're a root-level admin, there could be a LOT of banks. The banks do not display details such as the course name, subaccount name, creation date, or author. I'm a root admin for a large school in the midst of transitioning to New Quizzes and there are tons of banks just named "Test." There definitely needs to be a way to sort banks aside from the bank name.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎05-27-2021

Pulling questions from a bank is the one of the best ways to create variation and/or organize questions in a quiz. Plus, it greatly decreases the ability of students to share answers with their peers. Instructors shouldn't have to choose between making their quizzes more secure and having the safety net of regrading a question.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎05-07-2021

If an instructor enters grades for an assignment or quiz with an automatic grade-posting policy, students with notification preferences set for email and push notifications will receive both an email and push notification. But if the assignment has a manual grade-posting policy, students will receive only an email and not the push notification when grades are posted. In case #07526980, Instructure support explained that while entering grades will trigger a push notification, posting grades will not (see the Notifications guide). At The Wharton School, all courses have a manual grade-posting policy by default, a feature our faculty have wanted for years. The limitation of push notifications for posted grades makes the mobile app much less useful for students who want to check their grades on the go. Please consider supporting push notifications for posted grades.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎04-14-2021

This is a mission-critical feature for New Quizzes. Fire alarms, internet connectivity issues, device restarts in the middle of the exam, or broken links in the exam that cost students precious minutes during a timed exam are some of the many unforeseen reasons instructors may need to allow extra time during an in-progress quiz. Relatedly, these features should also get more attention: New Quizzes: time remaining New quizzes: reopen starting time

RebeccaMoulder · ‎04-13-2021

@Stef_retired Sure, I submitted case #07525181 and L2 support suggested creating the idea conversation.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎04-13-2021

Currently, if students try to view their quiz submissions in New Quizzes for a past course, they encounter a "403 - Forbidden" error. This is true even if the quiz and course settings are configured to allow students to continue viewing submissions and course content in read-only mode. Instructors can still view student submissions for New Quizzes in past-term sites. This behavior is contrary to how New Quizzes used to work and is inconsistent with past-term viewing of Classic Quizzes submissions. The student guide, How do I view my assessment results as a student in New Quizzes?, does not mention any limitations with courses in a past term. Students often reference their past quizzes and exams for a variety of reasons and should be allowed to continue doing so in past courses as long as the quiz settings allow. The workaround of changing the term to any active term or updating the participation settings for the course aren’t ideal for a few reasons. Namely, changing the course term to active would display the course(s) on all enrolled students’ dashboards again, allow students to retake quizzes if multiple attempts are allowed and there’s no “Available Until” date, and require intervention from a Canvas admin to set the sites as active if the term has already ended. If the quiz settings do not restrict the student result view, students should still be able to view their quiz submissions for New Quizzes in past courses.

RebeccaMoulder · ‎03-16-2021

In both Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes, students see the version of a quiz as it existed when they started taking it. If questions are changed or feedback is added after students start the quiz, only students who had not yet started taking the quiz or who have additional attempts to take would see it. Recently, instructors have been frustrated by the lack of ability to add feedback after students have started taking a quiz. Oftentimes they wish to share comments or solutions based on discussions they have with students after taking the quiz or instructors have security concerns about students being able to see feedback before they are ready to release it so they wait to add it later (not realizing that students won't be able to see it). While it makes sense that students should see the same version of questions once they start taking a quiz, there are some quiz features--such as feedback--that instructors should be able to update and share with students after they have started the quiz. Feature ideas related to feedback sharing in New Quizzes: New Quizzes: View Feedback Once After Each Attempt New Quizzes: Show and Hide Quiz Results by Date New Quizzes: Time limit on quiz review session New Quizzes: Automatically release quiz answers once every student has a grade New Quizzes: Have the ability for comments to come up on a Quiz only after the last attempt.
