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.
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…

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…
