If I enable "Shuffle Answers" in the Settings tab, that means ALL question answers will be shuffled, right? Does that mean if I only want just a few questions's answers to be shuffled, I'd use "Shuffle Choices" in those questions?
Hello @hmacdermott
This question was asked recently. There is a minute difference but they are tied together:
The main reason that the quiz level setting of "Shuffle Answers" doesn't trickle down to the questions and change the "Shuffle Choices" setting, is that questions can be from Item Banks in the New Quiz, and if the "Shuffle Choices" option was automatically enabled when the "Shuffle Answers" option was enabled, then it would change the settings on Item Banks questions--which you normally wouldn't want to do because it can effect the behavior of the question in all the New Quizzes where the question exists.
If you don't want to shuffle the answer choices for all the questions on the quiz, you will need to manually select which questions that you want the shuffling to occur for.

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…
