New Quizzes on the To Do List We recognize that there has been much to be desired when New Quizzes aren't completely auto graded. This causes teachers to feel frustrated when they need to remember to constantly check to see if students have submitted a quiz for grading. We also understand that teachers are worried they will forget to grade a quiz in a timely manner and in turn inadvertently frustrate students. There is already too much mental administrative burden in teaching and we plan to remove this additional pressure soon. Now available, New Quizzes requiring manual grading by teachers will appear on the To Do list. These changes will also bring the user experience of grading New Quizzes in line with that of Classic Quizzes. Scenario : A teacher includes a quiz with auto graded questions (such as multiple choice, drop down or true false..etc.) as well as a section which requires a teacher to manually review and supply a score (essay or short answer.) The Problem: Historically, these would appear the same as the auto graded quizzes, even though the teacher still needed to score some questions. It was problematic because teachers didn’t see that they needed to do more grading and students would be made aware of a grade even though it wasn’t complete. Sometimes those grades would seem upsetting and teachers would soon hear from students or sometimes parents. Upcoming Feature Description To Do List and Recent Feedback for Manually Graded New Quizzes We’ve made a change so that as soon as a student submits a quiz which requires a teacher to do any manual grading (essay or short answer) it will appear in the teacher’s To Do list. This change will also prevent students seeing quizzes as “graded” prematurely. New Quizzes will not appear in the student’s recent feedback list until after the teacher completes the manual grading. As soon as a teacher clicks to “Updates Scores” in Speedgrader, then Canvas will see the quiz as completely graded and move from the teacher’s To do list and will be displayed in the student’s recent feedback.

@mbmacdonald That's an interesting take. We've mostly been hearing that teachers want as little interruption as possible, but I can see how this might give more granular control. Thanks for sharing!

We have discovered and are addressing issues with: -images not migrating -migrated quizzes not retaining the published state of the Classic Quiz -unpublished quizzes not showing the assignment points associated with the quiz

Improvements are coming for Item Banks Management this March. We’re continuing to make adjustments to Item Banks based upon your feedback. During our user interviews for migration of Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes, it became clear we need ways to improve the experience when there are many pages of Item Banks. The verbiage of several item bank filter names are changing to more clearly indicate what will be returned in those filters. Current Changed to Purpose All My Banks All Banks Every bank the signed in user has access to. The filter shows all banks the user has created as well as all shared to the user, both directly and through shared via course. *Use this in conjunction with search and sorting options to narrow All My Course Banks Banks Shared to Course Banks shared to courses are accessible by all teachers in the course. *Use this filter when you have item banks shared to all the teachers in a course and wish to use in another course As all migrated question banks are automatically shared with the teachers of the course they are used in, making these easier for all to find is a priority. A new filter will be introduced as the default filter when navigating to an Item Bank from within a course. “ This Course ” filter will show any Item Banks used in the course which the logged in user has permission to see (share settings of view or edit). This will make it easier to quickly find and make any adjustments to the Item Banks which are being used for a quiz in the course.

Thanks again for being so willing to get into your beta instances and try out the migration tool. I did make a video, but we have some new fixes coming and it seems better to hold off just a little longer. Some of your feedback we've already been able to investigate and incorporate changes. The next deploy to Beta in February will contain these fixes: 1. Questions containing formulas will convert as expected and not as images. 2. Migrated question groups will be available to the course 3. When course A uses a question bank from course B, show the bank as shared with the course in the new item bank Work underway which will come after that: Rich Content Editing (old) for Fill in the Blank questions; enabling line breaks, fill in the table, incorporation of images with sentences, supporting scientific and mathematical ... etc. @BenJam1n Yes, there will be some lag in the beta migration experience due to beta being sized at a smaller capacity. Thanks for bringing my attention to the modules problem. A quick double check looked like this problem is showing on our end too, so I'll investigate.

Here is the roadmap for the New Quizzes API, please note that the initial version will be available via a closed beta program, so that everything is well tuned when the casual user makes requests. New Quizzes API: Planned Roadmap

SuSorensen · ‎01-24-2022

Hello @ebloomfield and @judy_harmon - the conversion of question banks to item banks is available in beta. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Releases/Beta-Release-Notes-New-Quizzes-Migration-2021-12-22/ta-p/503187 will walk through the process. Sorry for the late reply!

SuSorensen · ‎01-12-2022

@elovitt You got it. It's on my list and will be posted here https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Quizzes-Transition/Release-Screencast-BETA-2021-12-22-New-Quizzes-Migration/ta-p/503198 Thanks for letting me know what you'd like to see in the demo!

@elovitt Item Banks- manage account is a super permission. The primary use case we see is when someone leaves an institution and the admin wishes to resurrect the item bank for use by other teachers. It can also be useful in highly collaborative environments where adjusting per Item Bank permission is not necessary. When a user with an admin role is granted this permission, item banks created by any user also display in the Account and Course Item Banks pages and can be managed by the admin. When a user with a course role is granted this permission, item banks created by any user also display in the Course Item Banks page and can be managed by the instructor.

Thank you so much, Susan for taking the time to try out the migration and document your experience. I am seeing Test Quiz- ch03-1 in your item bank list, so if you could file a support ticket with all the steps you took, that would be so appreciated. Let's talk some more about the other items in point 3. " Also none of the question banks that were in the course and not linked to a question group didn't come over to item banks. On the side note when this does work, how will the migration distinguish all the "unfiled questions" banks? Will the second and third come over with a number attached or by course name? " Trying to make sure I'm understanding 🙂 The course has a question bank but that bank isn't being used in any of the quizzes in the course and you are noting that it didn't migrate to an item bank?

SuSorensen · ‎01-05-2022

Yes, there are some flags you will need to enable. The release notes here walk thru set up https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Releases/Beta-Release-Notes-New-Quizzes-Migration-2021-12-22/ta-p/503187

SuSorensen · ‎01-03-2022

@BenJam1n , If you've followed along with info here and are still seeing issues, please make sure you submit the steps you took to support. They'll work with the team to make sure any issues are addressed.

Hello @mmyers3 - we're still collecting feedback about how outcomes migration should behave. Please add any of your thoughts for the PM here Input Opportunity: Classic to New Quiz Outcome Alignment Migration They plan to begin that work soon.

SuSorensen · ‎12-17-2021

As promised, I'm back with an update. I hope to catch you before you are off on break, so that you can enjoy your time more fully. We are allowing an extension to the timeline for Classic Quiz usage through the end of June 2024. However that isn't the only adjustment we've made. You can read the full details here. Thank you for your candid openness. I hope you will see that we are taking this feedback into account as we've made changes to the transition timeline and supporting documents. Also, many made note of migration and partial points on matching questions being a big barrier. Both of these are coming to Beta on December 22nd. You can read about migration here (which includes bulk migration and question banks) and partial points for matching here. Context is always critical to us as well, so as the context has changed once these timeline adjustments have been made, we are closing this thread for comment. I do still want to hear from you and how what we're doing impacts your job. Please add any new comments to the new discussion.

Welcome to this user group! We’re glad you are here. This group functions a little differently than other groups where you may have participated in the past. The objective of this group is to offer one place where you can get all the information you need about migrating from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes. Content is curated by the product team. The general page displays the group hub activity, which is created via blog posts, forum posts, and knowledge base articles. The newest information will always display at the top. Content is available for commenting, but it may only be open for a limited time. To better serve you and collect feedback, posts that are created in the user group may only be open to comments for a limited time. When comments are no longer available for the post, the post will display a lock icon. Subscribe to the user group so you’ll be updated on when new content is posted! This group is our focus. Our focus will be here, making sure you have the resources you need to make a smooth and effective transition to New Quizzes for your institution. We are also focusing on making sure we keep listening to your feedback as we continue to move forward on the New Quizzes timeline . The New Quizzes User Group is still open for commentary and for you to share your experiences and thoughts with other people using New Quizzes! However, that group will transition to become more like a user interest group, which means product managers will no longer spend as much time in that group. We’ll also be trying to organize older posts from the group so that you have more accurate information about New Quizzes. We look forward to interacting with you!

We know you’ve waited for a long time for Partial Points on Matching questions. It is so impactful to both educators and students. Frankly, we didn’t want another year to start without partial points on matching. You’ll be able to try this out as soon as December 22nd in Beta. The feature will be available in your live production environments with the January 15th release. We hope this makes your new year a little bit brighter. Upcoming Feature Description Partial Points for Matching Questions This change will allow students to garner points for the correct portions of an entire question matching set. The points are calculated as total possible points divided by the number of questions, then the correctly answered questions are summed. score = total_points_possible X (number_of_questions_answered_correctly / total_number_of_questions) Please note that Partial Credit will be the default for all newly added question types. Existing questions will need to be edited and then choose the partial credit option. Partial Credit will also work with re-grading. Partial Points for Matching - regrade

Typically, Instructure refrains from communicating future plans beyond the current quarter. However, in our conversations it became clear that you need clarity in what and when additional improvements are planned for New Quizzes. The following format is a modified now/next/later product roadmap. I want to bring attention to items in the far left, starting with now. These have greater timing certainty than those to the right. As the timeline reaches further out, there is greater potential for change. We will continue to adjust based on your feedback and insights. This page will be a living document and comments will be updated if adjustments are made. Subscribe if you are interested in following changes.
