Multiple instructions in the same quizz

KawtharBalti

I want to create a quizz with let's say 20 questions.

the first 5 questions are linked to a specific situation, for which I need to create a common instructions.

Then around 10 questions that each is separate, then another bloc of questions that have a common instructions.

For now, the only way I see is to create 3 different quizz.

Is there a way to group some questions, and define for those questions the same instructions?

Hi @KawtharBalti ,

Are you using classic Quizzes or New Quizzes?

It depends on how you are constructing the quiz and what you want to do with the questions (shuffled or not)

1) Classic quizzes - you can easily do what you want if you are not wanting to have questions shuffled(which is not an option in classic quizzes. answers can be shuffled, but not the questions). In this case, you add a question and one of the option is Text (no Question) - that does exactly what you want. It provides an information block that precedes questions related to that information block.

2) With new quizzes - There is no such option and therefore you cannot do what you want. One thing you could do is put all the instructions for the next block of questions in the first question for that block - so they have the information and 1 question to start that question. the other questions would then follow. Just make sure that you do not have shuffle questions selected for the quiz or it will not work.

Overlapping Scroll Bars
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…

A small pre-submission habit that’s helped with written assignments in Canvas
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
