I received an email back from Canvas (see below). I hate using the QTI zip file method to copy quizzes---so cumbersome compared to "copy to".  Minimally, a popup warning would be nice when instructors are about to copy a quiz, warning them about this specific question bank issue.     Hi Carrie! Thank you for contacting Canvas Support!  I am sorry to see that you are having issues with the copying quiz function, I am more than happy to assist you with this.  I have taken a look into this for you and I have been able to see that " If you set a question group to randomly select questions from the question bank, the question bank and questions will not be included in quiz exports. A QTI zip file will download the quiz details, but no questions will be included." (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-with-a-question-group-to-randomize-quiz/ta-p/1032) so this is why the questions in the question group are not getting imported across.  If you have quizzes with question banks linked I would recommend that you also import across the questions to the other course and then you can just re-create the question group linked to the question bank.  Let me know if you have any questions!

I am having the exact same problem!  So the copy function is not really a copy in this case. I thought it was strange that you cannot even edit the group to re-link it to the bank. You have to completely re-write your group question to get to the bank. I submitted a ticket to Canvas. If you have a response from Canvas I would love to know. ... View more

I also have no prereq on the module and this happens to me all the time. Usually clearing my cache works but it did not this time. I logged out and back in, and it is still now working. VERY frustrating!!! ... View more

Thanks rconroy. But this doesn't help when I am editing existing existing quiz bank questions. Here's why: 1) I can't view the question details because I have over 25 questions in the bank. To view the question details I have to a) click edit question b) click cancel c) now the bank will show me the details 2) Viewing the details doesn't even really help when I have multiple answer choices that I have to read in the view detail format.  Here are some images that may help. I just don't understand why the answer choice box is so small when there is a ton of room next to the answer box used for nothing (see first image and note the ton of empty space).

I'm seeing the same thing as Taylor. ... View more

Chris: It will default to the points you allocate in the group itself; it ignores the point value from the bank. ... View more

I am not certain why Canvas cannot just autosave a score once it has been typed into the SpeedGrader. Canvas does autosave other typed scores, for example, when you add a score directly to the grade book. A floating Update Score button that follows you would be better than just one at the top or bottom. ... View more

I had also planned to use " Stopped viewing the Canvas quiz-taking page… " as a way report cheating. Is anyone using this successfully in this way? What is the work around for students who just don't click on anything for longer than 30 seconds? ... View more

After a bit more thinking, what will the students see when they attempt to access the quiz after having taken and reviewed the quiz if I check the box for "only once after each attempt" ? Will that only see their score? ... View more

Regarding "Important Message: Quiz availability (dates/times) have NOTHING to do with whether a student can view their quiz results. The ONLY way to stop students from viewing their quiz results is to have the “Let Students See their Quiz Responses” and “Show which answers were correct” boxes UNCHECKED. If you want students to initially see their quiz results, these boxes can be checked and set to close once you no longer want students to view the quiz results." I want students to initially see their quiz results right after they take the quiz but never again. I am not sure what is meant by "these boxes can be checked and set to close once you no longer want students to view the quiz results" .  It's the "set to close" part that I am confused about. Do you mean I have to manually uncheck the boxes after my selected date? Thanks! ... View more
