Can I write questions that lead to different questions depending on the answer to prior question(s)?

I am teaching graduate level medicine. I want to create cases wherein your first response to a patient alters your next interaction with the patient in terms of patient disease status as well as changing the available treatment options.

e.g.: Patient complains of thirst and depending on the type and volume of fluid that you give them, the patient has a different response and a different follow-up question.

Hello @Teachah213

Thanks for posting this in the Community!

Currently, Canvas does not have a way for you to do something like this. However, I did see that there has been some conversation (HERE) about a feature like this in the community. The term they are using is Adaptive Learning - Quiz Branching, which would direct students to a particular piece of Content based on their responses to a question in a quiz.

I personally think that this would be a cool new feature for the New Quizzes engine. Feel free to add a comment on that open Idea if you have a chance!

-Hopefully this helps!

It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
Overlapping Scroll Bars
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.

A small pre-submission habit that’s helped with written assignments in Canvas
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…
