Is there a way to include a question on Classic Quizzes where students can input their birthday?
Right now I just have an essay question so they can type it out, but I was hoping for one with less room for error.
Hey @SamGrimaldi!
One way to ask this question with very little room for error is to use the Multiple Dropdowns question type.
How do I create a Multiple Dropdown quiz question?
You can create one drop down for the month, another for the day, and a third one for the year. Therefore, the only room for error is if the students select the incorrect item in one or more of the dropdown menus.
You may need to include many years in the Year drop down menu depending on the age range of your students.
You will need to select a "correct" answer for each of the drop downs, but I would include some details in the directions for the questions stating that a correct answer is required to be chosen for each of the dropdown menus, but a correct or incorrect answer does not matter for this question. Also, if this question is part of a quiz that students will be graded on, I would suggest making this question worth 0 (zero) points so it will not affect the overall score in any way.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reply with any questions.
Thank you, this is what I ended up doing. The year drop down was a bit tedious but it works.

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
