Problem statement: Quizzes have the options to shuffle questions. Depending on the question type, answers can also be shuffled, and some answers can be locked into place. For instance, "All of the above" can be lock so that it is always the last answer option for that question. However, there is not a way to lock a question into place when the questions are shuffled. Proposed solution: My proposed solution is to allow quiz creators to lock questions and stimuli into place. Shuffling questions is an easy-to-use cheating prevention tool. However, there are times when a certain question(s) needs to be locked into place. Like reflection questions or bonus questions at the end of an exam, or demographic questions at the beginning of a questionnaire. User role(s): admin,instructor ... View more

I have some projects where students basically do multiple mini-projects--like a timeline of 10 scientists with the same 7 bits of information provided for each one. When I was grading these on paper, I used a grid rubric that let me just go across each row then add up a total.  I've tried to do a condensed rubric in Canvas. For example, the criterion would be "scientist name" and would be worth 10 points. But that really hasn't worked well. I'd like to have a mini-rubric that I could for each section of the project, and ideally, one that would collapse when I'm ready for the next section. But right now, the only to achieve that seems to be listing out each individual criterion: Scientist 1, Criterion A Scientist 1, Criterion B Scientist 1, Criterion C Scientist 1, Criterion D Scientist 1, Criterion E Scientist 2, Criterion A Scientist 2, Criterion B and so on... Is there a more elegant way to do this that I'm missing? ... View more
