Howdy, phenomenal educators!
For a teacher who has question banks for different topic areas, how does a teacher make sure that Canvas does not give redundant questions? What to do to avoid pulling the same question multiple times?
Thanks!
I have not noticed this issue in the past, but it happened this semester. I have a bank of 8 questions and the quiz is supposed to pull 3 for each student. Most students are getting 3 different questions, but some students are getting 2 different questions, with the 3rd question being a duplicate of one of the others. How can we avoid that and make sure that 3 different questions are getting pulled from the questions bank?
Hello,
Canvas doesn't really have a way to screen questions to make sure it is not pulling duplicates from multiple question banks or the same bank linked more than once. As a result we recommend linking a bank to a quiz only once and making sure that there is as little overlap when making a quiz with multiple question banks as possible. I hope this helps.

Our production and test sites are fine, but we manage a number of different Canvas instances and every one of them that uses SAML authentication (with either Okta or Microsoft Entra) has not worked for a…
Please let me know if this is better posted in a different forum. Still learning the ropes of the Community! I'd love to see the option of an itemized sync for Blueprint courses. Many of our faculty make course updates throughout the semester for the next semester's courses, but don't necessarily want those updates to…
ETA: never mind! I had done my "testing" in the wrong quiz, which was a Classic Quiz quiz. I just tried again in the correct (migrated) new quiz, and I see now that the "file upload" question type DOES show the image in SG! — I rarely use Canvas quizzes, but am teaching a new asynch class this semester. I want students to…

Can the Batch Edit of Assignment be updated so you can filter by assignment catagory
