Hello, I second SusanNiemeyer. If the quizzes are identical, and time accommodation needs to be set, you can use the Moderate Quiz option to give extra time. Here is the article that explains how to do so (Add Extra Time on Attempt section): Once I publish a timed quiz, how can I give my students extra time? Thanks! Pallavi J

Hello! I have come across a unique issue with Canvas Availability From and Until dates in Ungraded Discussions! Here are the steps to replicate the issue: Create an Ungraded Discussion in your Canvas course shell. Enter Available From date past/after the Until Date. For example: Available From: Jul 18 at 12:02am Until: July 17 at 11:55pm Click Save or Save & Publish. Canvas lets you save the Ungraded Discussion without any error. For the same Discussion, if you select the Graded checkbox and try to enter the same Availability from and Until Dates, and Save the Discussion, Canvas displays an error: Unlock date cannot be after lock date While it is purely a manual error to set wrong Available from and Until dates, the interesting thing to note here is that Canvas let it happen/save and did not throw any error while saving the Ungraded Discussion like it does for Graded Discussion. Should not the Availability from and Until dates algorithm or workflow be same across the Canvas? I understand that Ungraded Discussions have a different workflow than Graded Discussions and that Ungraded Discussions often ignore or do not have Availability From and Until dates, but is there a way this can fixed? Thanks! Pallavi Jalakam

Hi @KristinL,
So, we received an update from the Canvas Support team, and here is their response:
After additional research, we have determined New Quizzes can't be entirely disabled at a course level currently. The course feature option will only stop New Quizzes from being able to be created in the course, but the ability to use an imported New Quiz is based on the LTI functionality and can only be managed at an account level.
Suggested workaround: One current option would be to have all courses where you do not want New Quizzes to be used at all in their own account and disable the LTI within that account.
While the Canvas support team response did not convince me as that looks more like a bug to me and contradicts the Enable/Disable theory, I hope there will be some significant changes or quick fixes in the future.
It would be good if this can be acknowledged as a Known Issue in the New Quizzes documentation. If not, a simple Note mentioning this use case will lessen confusion among end-users. (Just for the greater audience who relies on Canvas documentation.)
Thanks! Pallavi

Hello @KristinL,
Thank you for the follow-up! We resubmitted the issue with Canvas Support today.
I have explained the issue in my initial post. Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:
Create a quiz using the New Quizzes tool.
Share the quiz via Canvas Commons or the Send to option.
Import the shared quiz to a course shell that has New Quizzes Disabled.
Open the imported quiz.
View/Edit/Build/Preview the imported quiz. The Canvas should not let the user view/edit/preview this quiz (created using the New Quiz tool) as the New Quizzes tool is disabled in this course shell.
The New Quizzes tool is enabled at a course level, so when a New Quiz is imported into a course shell that has New Quizzes disabled , it should not let the user View/Edit the quiz that is created using the New Quizzes tool. It should display a warning message that this quiz can't be accessed because New Quizzes is disabled in your course.
(Disable New Quizzes: Settings > Feature Options > New Quizzes > Disabled)
Hope this helps! Happy to provide any other information if required.
Thanks! Pallavi

When you create a quiz using the New Quizzes tool and share it via Canvas Commons or the Send to option and then import the quiz to a Course Shell that has New Quizzes Disabled, you can view/edit/preview the imported quiz (created using New Quizzes) in the course shell that has New Quizzes disabled.
The New Quizzes tool is enabled at a course level, so when a New Quiz is imported into a course shell that has New Quizzes disabled, it should not let the user View/Edit the quiz that is created using the New Quizzes tool. It should display a warning message that this quiz can't be accessed because New Quizzes is disabled in your course.
When the same course does not let the user create a New Quiz if New Quizzes is Disabled at the course level, it should not let the user view/edit the imported New Quiz too.
This is a significant issue. Users can now edit the imported New Quiz in a course shell even if the New Quizzes feature is disabled. Thanks!

Hello dbradbury ,
I believe you can't edit assignment comments/feedback in SpeedGrader, but you surely can delete them by clicking the X next to the comment within the Assignment Comments section (right-hand side of the SpeedGrader).
Hope this helps!

I created a quiz using the New Quizzes tool and shared it via Canvas Commons and also via the Send to option. I then imported the quiz to a Course Shell that has New Quizzes Disabled. However, I was able to view/edit/preview the imported quiz (created using New Quizzes) in the course shell that has New Quizzes disabled.
I believe the New Quizzes tool is enabled at a course level, so when a New Quiz is imported into a course that has New Quizzes disabled, it should not let me View/Edit the quiz that is created using the New Quizzes tool. It should probably give me a warning message that this quiz can't be accessed because New Quizzes is disabled in your course.
For a moment, if I believe it is due to my Admin role, the same course does not let me create a New Quiz as New Quizzes is Disabled, but I can view/edit the imported New Quiz.
Steps to reproduce the use case:
Create a Quiz using the New Quizzes tool.
Share the New Quiz via the Send to option or Canvas Commons.
Import the New Quiz to a course site that has New Quizzes Disabled.
View/Edit/Preview the New Quiz in the Build screen. (You can add new questions and perform all actions as you would when you create a quiz using the New Quizzes tool.)
What am I missing out here? Is this the expected behavior or a bug?
Happy to learn!
Thanks! Pallavi

Hello EhfazNowman,
My understanding is that the editing quiz alone (changing Point Value) will not work as there are student submissions already. Sadly, we have to manually regrade each student submission. You will have to get into SpeedGrader, change Point Value for the required question, and click the Regrade button.
The auto-regrade feature is only effective when you change the correct answer for a quiz question and NOT when you change the point value of a question.
Also, note that Regrading is not available for Essay or File Upload questions.
Here are a few articles that can help you with Regrading options:
Check the Change Point Value section: How do I regrade a quiz question in New Quizzes?
What options can I use to regrade a quiz in a course?
PS: I read that when you regrade a question (change point value/answer options) for one student, the change will be applied to all students who received that question. I am not sure as I have not tested for multiple student submissions. Regrade expert from the Canvas Community can weigh in on this and I will be happy to learn.
Hope this helps!

Hello BilalZafar,
Sadly, there is not a quick way to reset student submissions in Canvas. The Assignments tool does not have the Moderate feature to allow extra attempts by individual students like the Quizzes tool does.
Also, limiting Submission Attempts can't be altered for one student, but when that option is modified it is applicable to every student enrolled in your course. While having the ability to modify Submission Attempts per individual student would have been the appropriate solution for your question, but that is not possible in Canvas as of now. However, I can think of one workaround here:
Open the Assignment in edit mode.
Change the Submission Attempts from 2 to 3. (Since your assignment has 2 attempts.)
In the Assign section, click the +Add button.
In the Assign to field, select the required student.
Modify the Available from, Until, and Due dates. (Hoping that Due/Until date is already passed for the entire class.)
Click Save.
Although you are changing the Submission Attempts for the entire class, you are limiting the Availability and Due Dates to just one student. It is like you are reopening this assignment only for one particular student with a different due date.
Please make sure you do not remove Everyone from the Assign to field in the Assign section as that would remove all existing student submissions.
Please check this article for the same: How do I assign an assignment to an individual student?
Hope this workaround helps you.
Thanks!

Hello MiriamJacobs,
I believe there is not a way to create a Grade Column without creating an Assignment. For such Tests where I do not need any submission but want to manually Grade students (for example, Grade Component like Attendance), I create an Assignment with Submission Type as No Submission . Submission Type can also be On Paper for tests that are conducted in-person and require no online submission.
This way a Grade Column is created in the Gradebook and I can grade students using the Grades tool and enter scores in each grade cell or via the SpeedGrader.
Here is the article that can help you with creating such tests where submission is not required: How do I create assignment columns for non-submission assignments in the Gradebook?
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Hello Alan,
Canvas does have great features and yes, a few of them are not straightforward to understand at first glance. I have been using Canvas for a few years now and there is always something new to learn every day.
I read that if the feature idea is open for voting, and as long as you are logged into the Canvas Community, you can Upvote the feature by clicking on the up arrow that appears next to the votes. To be honest, I was only able to Rate an idea so far, but never Upvote.
Please check this: How do idea conversations work in the Instructure Community?
Thanks!

Hello,
Sadly, there is no partial credit for Matching questions in New Quizzes. Currently , it is either All or Nothing, which is very frustrating and the only workaround is to use the Fudge Points option and inform students that the actual score is adjusted.
On a side note, Classic Quizzes give partial credit based on the number of marks and matching questions.
The idea for granting partial credit for Matching questions is already submitted to Canvas. If you would like to vote/rate for it.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am 99.9% certain that you do not have to reopen the quiz. It took me a while to understand how Fudge Points work as I was troubleshooting the same a few days ago.
Here is what I did:
Open the Quiz in SpeedGrader.
Enter Fudge Points.
Click Update.
Refresh the page.
When you click the Update button after adjusting Fudge Points, The Results Updated message appears and the Final Score (above the Update button) is updated, but the actual score in the Grade field (right-hand side) does not get updated and is greyed out as you mentioned in your question.
You have to Refresh the page for the updated score to populate in the Grade field within the sidebar. I would also imagine that clicking the Update button after entering Fudge Points will reflect the updated score in real-time without having the need to Refresh the page. Not sure if this is deliberate or expected behavior, but, yes, it confuses me a bit for sure.
Hope future enhancements will fix this.
Hope this helps!

Hello,
From what I am aware, there is no other workaround than manually editing grades/scores. Default Grade functionality is applied to all students or only to the students who have not yet received a grade.
Submission status is not factored into the default grade application and the grade is assigned to students regardless of submission status.
It would have been really good if Canvas takes students' Submission Status into consideration for the Default Grade functionality as Instructors do not have to change the grades manually by editing the score after setting the Default Grade.
I often have to manually edit the Grades for those students with no submissions. Also, if the Grade Posting policy is not set to manual, this poses another problem where students panic with the Grade change multiple times, and the inbox is flooded with panic emails.
This is really a very interesting scenario and perhaps Canvas should consider implementing a quick solution for this than typing in an updated score workaround.
Hope for some quick fix for this in the future.
Thanks! Pallavi Jalakam
