Option to build on prior attempt in quizzes.

Our campus is moving to Canvas from Moodle. One feature in Moodle quizzes that I very much miss is the ability for students to build on prior attempts in a quiz. I don't want them wasting their time filling in the answers to questions they already correctly answered in a prior attempt. I would like to request that this feature be included as an option in new quizzes.

Thank you!

it is added and I am not sure whether it is working correctly.

Yes, it should work. I have 25 questions on my quizzes and all 25 questions are from item banks. However, it is not clear how the build on prior attempt works since my students still get 25 different questions when they attempt their second attempt. I was hoping that they don't have to do the ones they got right.

Hi Rolf,

The Moderation settings in New Quizzes allows you to reopen a student’s most recent quiz attempt. You can adjust timer settings.

With this build on last attempt, does it work when part of the assignment is drawing random questions from a test bank?

Hi, I just started working with question banks which should be accessible for different course. Clearly, it would be annoying to rewrite a question bank. In this process, I noticed that a question bank can only be hosted in a course shell, in contrast to for example files which can be hosted on a user level. This is a…
Typing Systems of Equations
I have previously been able to type systems of equations that displayed properly with the left bracket. My notes say that I typed: \( {2x - y = 5 \brace 6x + 5y = 8} \) But when I put that in, I get this in the question: LaTex: \( {2x - y = 5 \brace 6x + 5y = 8} \) I've also tried entering this in the html view and get the…
How are instructors keeping track of student showcase portfolios?
We are looking to take better advantage of the portfolio offerings. Currently, it doesn't appear that evaluation portfolios are ready for multi-semester updating at the higher ed level. But with showcase portfolios, how are other instructors keeping track that students have completed the requirements? Just through visiting…
