CANVAS 2.0 Data Pull for New Quizzes

Hey everyone,

When getting data from Canvas, I tried pulling data from Canvas.Quizzes, and that seemed to have only pulled in rows for classic Quizzes on Canvas. Using the relationship visualizer, I can't seem to find a way to pull in data for New Quizzes. Link

Am I overlooking something? I know that it shows up in Canvas.Assignments, but is there a way to retrieve questions/submissions from New Quizzes like there is for classic Quizzes as a batch download from Canvas?

There are some API commands for New Quizzes, but these do not seem to grab questions/submissions either: Link

Any help would be appreciated!

Unfortunately, you can't pull those data via API yet, due to the nature of LTI tool.. those data are stored externally.

According to New Quizzes roadmap, the endpoints will be available in Q2 2024: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/New-Quizzes-Hub/ct-p/new_quizzes_hub

New Quizzes is implemented as an LTI so you might want to look at the "lti_results" table: https://data-access-platform-api.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html#tag/lti_results

Thanks for this! I do believe this successfully keeps submission_id/scores of external tools such as New Quizzes, but I'm hoping to pull questions/submissions/answer choices and such as Canvas currently has for classic quizzes. Any chance you know if this is possible on New Quizzes as well?

I don't believe any of the LTI tables pull in this information. Canvas.Assignments is also able to grab New Quizzes, but does not dive any deeper to get question text/answers/etc.

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled.

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…
Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
