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!

Here is a screenshot from an attempt to create a new Athena account. What does it mean when it says "supports open Canvas connections" or "Canvas Connection Open"? Can we close our Canvas instance to connections?
Is having students read the textbook considered an assignment or an activity if there is no grade but a required date?
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…
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…
