When creating a quiz, you can create a File Upload question in New Quizzes. You can limit the number of files and the file extensions that can be uploaded by students.
You can also duplicate File Upload questions to create a new question.
Note: DocViewer commenting and annotations tools are not available when grading file upload submissions in SpeedGrader.
Add Question
To create a question, click the Add button anywhere in the quiz.
Add File Upload Question
Click the Add File Upload button.
Add Question Title and Stem
In the Question Title field [1], add a question title. Question titles are optional and are not visible to students.
In the Question Stem field [2], add the question stem. The question stem contains the question and, if necessary, additional instructions and information. You can use the Rich Content Editor or the HTML view to format and add content to your question stem.
Enable On-Screen Calculator
To allow students to use an on-screen calculator for this question, click the Show on-screen calculator checkbox [1].
If you select this option, you can enable a basic calculator [2] or scientific calculator [3]. The basic calculator displays numbers and basic math functions (add, subtract, multiply, divide). The scientific calculator displays more options for advanced calculations.
Note: The on-screen calculator option is intended to be used while displaying one question at a time. If the quiz does not display one question at a time, students may be able to use the calculator for all questions.
Limit File Uploads
To limit the number of file uploads allowed for students, click the Limit File number checkbox [1]. Then type the file number in the Number field [2] or use the arrows to increase or decrease the value [3].
Note: If the Limit File number option is not selected, students are allowed unlimited uploads to a question.
Restrict File Types
To restrict the file types that can be uploaded by students, click the Restrict File Types checkbox [1]. Then enter the file extensions separated by commas in the File Types field [2].
Align to Outcome
To align the question to an outcome, click anywhere in the Align to Outcomes section.

Note: After a question has been added to an item bank, it can only be edited in the item bank. You can still set unique point values and options in the quiz for an item bank question.
