Making both True and False correct

I accidentally included a T/F quiz question on material we haven't covered yet. I set up the quiz to draw a certain number of items from a Quiz Bank, so not everyone got this question, so I don't want to just give everyone credit. Is there a way to make both True and False correct for this question? Or to somehow give automatic credit to everyone who got this question on their quiz?

Also, if I change this in the Quiz Bank, will it change the correct answer to be either T or F for students who took the quiz, if the quiz is now closed?

@kimj -

Unfortunately, I think you are going to be stuck going through each quiz submitted to see if they have the question and then correct it accordingly.

Is this a New quiz or classic quiz? There might be a way you can reduce your work in both types. In classic quizzes, go to the quiz , click on quiz statistics and then student analysis. You will get a csv file that has the responses to all questions by all students - you can then narrow it down to which students had the question.

I imagine New Quizzes has a way as well - I just don't use them.

Good Luck! and maybe someone else knows of a better way.

Even though I wish your answer were different, haha, I really appreciate the response. I think I used New Quiz; I'm not sure about the differences. Unfortunately I teach a huge section of over 700 students so checking each quiz individually would be pretty laborious. I guess my best option is to give everyone credit for that item whether they had it on their quiz or not.

I really appreciate your response! This is my first time using this forum and I'm glad I found it.

Request for improvement
When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
