How to award partial credit for fill in the blank questions

I am new to Canvas. I came over from Moodle. In Moodle, you can add multiple possible answers and say what percent of full credit they are awarded. For example, if I ask to give the word for "yes" in Spanish, I can say that "Sí" is 100% correct and "Si" is 50% correct because they did not use the accent.

Is there a way to do that in Canvas?

Thank you for the help

Hi @DavidAldrich ...

If you are using the New Quizzes interface within your Canvas course, one of the question types you might be able to use is Multiple Choice questions. You can specify your answer choices with different numbers of points possible. So, for example, if you had a question like:

How do you say "yes" in Spanish?

Sí = 10 points
Si = 5 points

Would something like this work for your needs? How do I create a Multiple Choice question in New Quizzes?

Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue.

Has anyone experienced the "Empty Course" page for Speedgrader, when there actually are students assigned and active on the assignment?
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
Problems with grading since update
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
