New Quizzes created on a desktop do not have the option to edit the "Description" under assignment details. "Description" doesn't even appear to students when accessed from a desktop, only when accessed from the mobile app.
Hi @JamesKCOS,
You are correct that web Canvas no longer has the description field for New Quizzes. I can't exactly pinpoint when this changed, but I think it's likely intended behavior as that field does not appear in any of the New Quizzes guides either. Instead of using the description field in the assignment area, you can utilize the Instructions field in the Build area of the quiz. It's likely that the Canvas apps will catch up with this eventually as well, as they do usually lag behind web Canvas a bit.
I hope this helps a bit!

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…
