Can a Spacer in a Quiz have a header and question number?

JMH05

Hello,

I have created a Quiz that has two questions.  The first one is a Test (no question) and the second is a Fill in the Blank.

When a student takes the quiz, the first question doesn’t have any sort of header.  The second question has a header and it reads “Question 1”.

In the student view, I can see that under Questions on the right hand side it lists Spacer and Question 1.  Apparently a Spacer doesn’t get a header and isn’t considered a question?

Is there any way to have my first question (Spacer) listed as Question 1 and the second question (Question 1) listed as “Question 2”?

Please let me know what you think.  Thanks!

I had to check and see which quiz version you were using, and from what I can tell Classic Quizzes has a text header question and New quizzes does not (there may be a way to add a heading in it, but it is not a question option like in classic quizzes).  As far as I know it is not possible to have the text heading question numbered as one of the questions for the quiz.  Probably because they are just present for a heading and do not contain an actual question.  So Canvas decided that it would be better if only entries that were actual questions should be numbered.

Someone else may have more information.
