I am newly migrated to New Quizzes, and am struggling to work with randomizing essay prompts. In Classic, I had Question Banks for each group of essays, and the individual prompts would be text blocks. I would then have Canvas randomly pull X prompts from the pool and then use a blank Essay question as the writing space…
Over the past two weeks, several of my students have come to me showing me how when they try to go to our course in Canvas, they end up with a screen saying "Access Denied." I have had them shutdown their computer and completely restart, I've checked their login on my student list, and I've tried to log them in with…

I have published a Rise 360 course using Web and also created the Zipped file. Next, I uploaded the zipped file to Canvas and expanded it.

Scenario: * Student completes multiple choice quiz (New Quiz with Build on Previous turned on). A few questions are marked as incorrect. After some discussion, two of the questions are deemed to have acceptable answers, so the teacher changes the points assignment on them to maximum. * Upon updating the Speedgrader,…
I use classic quizzes, and I have quizzes that allow the students multiple attempts. In the past (spring semester), I was able to see in the Canvas speed grader (using a pull-down menu) previous attempts. This was useful, as it allowed me to see what types of errors students were making. This feature seems to be no longer…
