Questions Banks Not Showing when Creating a Quiz on Canvas

Hello!

I have created some question banks with 2-3 questions each. However, when building a quiz and selecting the option "Item Banks" to insert questions from my question banks, none of the banks (and therefore their corresponding questions) show up (please refer to the attached screenshots).

Would you please help me with this issue?

Hi @Israe,

Canvas has two quizzing engines, one called "classic quizzes" and one called "new quizzes". Question banks are associated with classic quizzes, and item banks are associated with new quizzes. It sounds like you're using New Quizzes for your quizzing engine, so you'd need to create item banks instead of question banks for those.

I hope this helps a bit, I know the dual quizzing engine choices can be a bit confusing at first. Once you get the hang of the terminology and your own preferences, it should start to make more sense.

I imported question banks from Moodle and they went into a Question Bank. But we only have New Quizzes, so I can't use them at all. How do I make it import into a Item Bank or how do I transfer from a Question Bank to an Item Bank?

Can you create a bank from previously made quizzes?

Batch edit assignment due dates by section
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Change Group Assignments to NOT save if no groups are selected
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
Has anyone experienced the "Empty Course" page for Speedgrader, when there actually are students assigned and active on the assignment?
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
Problems with grading since update
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
