I have a teacher who is importing a quiz from her last year's course. She has mostly fill in the blank questions with full sentence answers. When she imports it to the current course, there are now dashes between the words instead of spaces. An example would be: I like ice cream. turns into I-like-ice-cream. upon import. Has anyone ever seen this?
Hello Heather Harris...
This certainly doesn't sound like normal Canvas behavior. Has your instructor considered contacting the folks at the Canvas Help Desk to report this as a possible bug? That's where I would start...so that the Canvas engineers could look into the issue and determine if they need to fix something on the back-end of Canvas. You can find more information on how to contact the Help Desk here: How do I get help with Canvas as an instructor?
I hope this helps, Heather.
