It appears that the correct answer is always first in a quiz. Is there a way to reorder the possible answers?
@MarySemerod ...
That is not true. You always have the option to choose whichever answer for a multiple choice question you want to be the "correct" answer. I am assuming that you are using current Classic Quizzes. If this is the case, check out the screenshots provided in this Guide:
How do I create a Multiple Choice quiz question?
Scroll about half-way down the page, and look for the heading "Change Correct Answer". This will show you how to change the green arrow to the left of possible answer choices to a different location ... marking that item as "correct". Just make sure that you click the "Update Question" button when you are done, and then scroll to the very bottom of your quiz when you are completely done to make sure you save all of your changes.
If you are using New Quizzes, you will see that there is a round circular icon to click to the left of any potential answer choice to mark it as the "correct" answer:
How do I create a Multiple Choice question in New Quizzes?
This Guide also shows you how you can shuffle answers in a multiple choice question...if this is something you want to do.
(Please note that you might not have access to New Quizzes at your school. Not all schools have enabled New Quizzes just yet. If this is the case, you would need to reach out to your school's Canvas administrator to have a discussion with him/her and see what the plan is to making New Quizzes available to you and your fellow instructors at your school.)
I hope this will help a bit. Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
To add to this question, How do you create a multiple choice question where the instructor is able to mark all of the answers as correct. The student then is able to select just one answer and receive full credit OR they can answer whichever responses apply to them and still receive full credit. For example, in my health class I might have the question: Do you get your blood pressure checked regularly? A) yes no
The student can answer either one (both answers are correct) and they get full credit.....OR
I might ask the question: What is your target heart rate for 60%? A) 120-125 126-130 C) 131-135 D) 136-140
Again, all answers are marked as correct by the teacher so no matter what choice the student selects they get full credit.
CAN THIS BE DONE IN CANVAS?
I teach at 3 different colleges and they use Moodle, Brightspace and D2L. All 3 of these programs do it but I can't figure out how to get Canvas to do what seems to be a standard for the other programs?
I am new to this community so it won't let me post a new thread. Can anyone post this for me??? I'd love for the engineers to fix this!!!!
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…

In Classic Quizzes, it is possible to display question-level feedback to students without manually grading an essay question on a quiz. Can this be enabled in New Quizzes? Use Case: This feature is vital for practice quizzes that include essay questions along with other question types. We mix essay questions with other…
