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!

I found an inherited Developer Key in my Canvas instance titled "Athena - 2026-04-30 22:22:18 UTC." Mine is currently off. I haven't been able to find a release note or Community announcement for it. Are you seeing this key in your instance, and what state is it in? Does anyone know the intended default state, or where…
Hi everyone, I’m working through a Sherpath/Evolve LTI 1.3 setup in Canvas and would appreciate some guidance from others who have configured grade passback. Sherpath’s guidance is that the point values need to be adjusted in the Sherpath link opened through the LTI so that the grades pass back to Canvas with the intended…
The fact that the teacher's gradebook view only displays the letter grade in the "override" column makes it difficult for the teacher to review grades, as the numerical grade entered cannot be determined in that view.
