I have quite a few faculty asking me how to tag or categorize in Canvas exam/quizzes. I know Outcomes is one way to do this but is there a way to do it similiar to the way Blackboard does it? What does everyone else do? The link below explains how to do this in Blackboard, scroll down to the About Question Metadata section to see how it works in Blackboard.
Categorizing in Blackboard

New Quizzes Item Banks include a tag field for questions. It may be worth testing that or offering it as an option for your faculty.

I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
