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!

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
