I'm trying to create a quiz for an assignment where I will accept any answer. This is my way of making an assignment a completions grade. Is this possible? If not, is there any other way to get this done? Thanks for your help.
For what you want I'm thinking that a graded survey might work. The way to do this is create a quiz, but change the type (from the quiz settings) from graded quiz to graded survey. This will allow you to set the number of points the student can earn regardless of what their answer is.
In addition to what @kona said - there is another option. You can also create an essay question within a graded quiz. This allows you to have "right" and "wrong" answers for the majority of the quiz, and then an essay spot for the students to fill in whatever you are asking about. The downside to this is that you would need to manually grade the essays.
Not sure why no one is being direct here, but the answer appears to be "No."
I also have a need for this, something that is easy in Moodle. Even, setting the point value of the essay question to zero doesn't help either, as it makes the quiz require manual grading.
Will Instructure consider adding this obvious and basic feature? Or allow you to say, use wildcards? Well, you could always take your chances with the Community Suggestion process which seems rigged to inevitably sideline your suggestion.
Only if you use the New Quiz format. In that case, use Fill in the Blank, Answer Type: Open Entry, Text Match: Close Enough, then set the Levenshtein Distance to something large, like 23. I use this for an "Honor Code" question were I ask students to type their name, i.e., "I, `studentnamefirstlast`, acknowledge that I have neither given or received any use of unauthorized aid."
I've had some faculty ask if could block agentic browsers such as Comet, ChatGPT Atlas, and Dia from being able to access Canvas. Have any schools taken a stance on this? Has Instructure mentioned any technical controls around this topic? I was unable to find any articles in a quick search, other than requiring LDB for all…
Breakout Discussions would enable instructors to orchestrate multi-phase discussions that mirror effective classroom facilitation patterns. An instructor creates a master discussion topic, then segments participants into small breakout groups for focused conversation, and finally reconvenes everyone into a unified thread…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
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. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
