I don't want my students to see all the questions for them to screen shot or copy and pass around to future students but only the questions they got wrong. How do I do that? I don't want to make up new tests every time I teach the course(s).
Hello @RuthVella
When you create a quiz, under the edit side there is box for these options. By default the option "Let Students See Their Quiz Responses (Incorrect Questions Will Be Marked in Student Feedback)" will show students their responses. Answers that were marked correct will be displayed as such. Answers that were wrong will tell them it was wrong but not explicitly tell them which is correct. If you want that enabled, you should also enable "Let Students See The Correct Answers"
However, if you want the students to see nothing after they submit their tests - disable both of these options. You can always come back after you are finished grading and let the students see their answers. Your best bet is to keep them disabled as student A could take a screenshot of their correct/wrong answers and share it with student B, etc.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
