Idea / Problem Statement
Instructors need more control over how students view quizzes during review or test correction mode in Canvas. Currently, even when a quiz is set to “one question at a time” during the attempt, the review screen displays all questions and answers on a single scrollable page.
For classes that use test corrections as a learning activity, this creates a challenge:
- Students can rapidly scroll through and capture screenshots or photos of the entire assessment at once
- It reduces pacing control during structured review activities
- It limits the instructor’s ability to scaffold corrections question-by-question
Proposed Solution
Add an instructor setting that allows quiz review mode to mirror the original quiz display format, including:
- Option to display review in “one question at a time” format
- Navigation controls (Next / Previous) during review
- Optional lock to prevent jumping directly to later questions
- Ability to still show:
- correct answers
- student responses
- feedback (if enabled)
Why This Matters
Many instructors use quizzes for test corrections, exam review, and formative learning, not just summative assessment.
This feature would:
- Improve academic integrity during review sessions
- Slow down rapid capture of full exams via screenshots or phones
- Support structured reflection (question-by-question correction work)
- Better align review mode with instructional goals, not just score reporting
