Duplicating an assignment to repeat every class period

I'd like to have a quiz posted for each class period for the whole semester. I know how to duplicate an assignment, but that requires deleting "copy" from each duplicate and changing the date for each assignment. Is there a way to duplicate the assignment like a repeating calendar event "repeats every M, W, and F until May 5"?

I'll be giving the quiz in class, so I really only need to have a gradebook entry and a calendar entry. Maybe there's an easier way..

Thanks

Hello @ToddDaily ,

At this time, Canvas does not offer a repeating or recurring assignments feature. However, you may submit a feature idea or request via Canvas Ideas. Please refer to the following guides:

Hi @ToddDaily

I note @NicholeDizon has provided you some information about the steps you could follow.

As another option, if you have admin access and someone who can assist you, there is an option to create, from a csv file and upload, the assessment shells as you need them.

As an example, I have worked in an organisation where we were able to set up a system that all the assessments by curriculum area were listed in the file and our data integration specialist uploaded the information into Canvas to the nominated Blueprint. Then each blueprint had the correct assessment as a 'shell', using the naming convention and could also be linked to the relevant rubric (also set up in a similar way).

We also grouped them into Summative Assessments, but you may not need that.

Our CSV file had the following headers:

Course_ID	Assessment_Name	Group_Tag		Description_Tag
from Canvas course	as per standard naming convention	TRUE/FALSE		HTML code for what was to be added to the Assessment for information

Something a bit different and it worked pretty well for us.

If you would like more info, let me know.

Thanks
