Copying Quizzes and Outcomes into other courses

I created a quiz and added outcomes to it in my shell course. I then tried to copy the quiz into all my other course sections. The quiz copied fine but the outcomes didn't go with it. Do I have to manually enter the outcomes for each question in each course section or is there something I'm missing.

Instead of using the copy feature from the quiz itself, try using "copy a canvas course."

Go to course settings, from the right-side menu select "import course content"

In content type select "copy a canvas course" and then select the course with the quiz and outcomes.

Choose "select specific content"

Select the quiz and also any rubric associated with the outcome.

I think this should import your outcomes, and retain the association to the quiz, but if not, there is also a way to import outcomes: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-outcomes-for-a-course/ta-p/702

Hi Michael,

I have the same issue. When I copy my quiz and outsomes into a new course the alignment of the outcome to the quiz do not transfer. I believe this is because each outcome has a designated course ID associated with it, which does not transfer when you put it into a new (different) course. I have no idea how to fix this. Who love to get a solution for this.

My biggest complaint about this is if I create a quiz in a "dev" course and I also tag those questions with an outcome in the DEV course when I copy everything over to my active course, I feel the outcomes should stay aligned with the question/quiz. I don't want to have to realign every question with an outcome every time I copy that quiz into a new course. I really want to know if CANVAS is aware of this issue/concern and are going to fix it.

You can have your admin create folders within the institutional outcomes folder and only import the folder containing the outcomes you want into the course shell. I hope that answers your question.

Rubric Grading
When creating a rubric is it possible to chnage the levels of understanding to a percentage rating so that if my criteria carry a different point value it will work across the board. Not sure where, how or if possible to change!
New quizzes imported to Canvas Commons only uploaded multiple Choice Question.
I am a Canvas admin and when importing a New Quiz to Canvas Commons it only uploads one multiple choice question. None of the matching, hotspot, stimulus questions, etc are getting uploading. Is this a known issue in Commons and New Quizzes. Am I better off just creating a course and sharing the New Quizzes with staff?
