Does anyone know of any third-party Canvas apps that can extend the type and scope of question types (and response types) for new or classic quizzes?
Hi @craig_anderson1,
As a Canvas admin with at least some developer knowledge, I don't think the functionality you're asking about is really possible. Canvas is very flexible and follows the 1EdTech Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard for 3rd party apps (and technically New Quizzes is actually an external app integrated with this standard). This means 3rd parties can make their own apps and integrate them with Canvas through things like Assignments and the course Navigation menu. What the standard doesn't really allow for is extending functionality of built-in features. Someone could develop their own entire new quizzing system and integrate it this way, but couldn't really add another quiz question type or change options within the current types.
Hope this helps a bit!

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
