Canvas Quizzes - Quiz Banks

This episode of the 99 will be considerably longer than 99 seconds. Actually, it is over 20 minutes as I am demonstrating start to finish how to set up a quiz using quiz banks. So, sorry about breaking protocol for my site.

Pros:

  • Quickly set up a new quiz as long as you have made up questions for your banks
  • Students each have a different quiz which is especially handy if sitting side by side in a classroom
  • Students can retake a quiz and it will be varied per the quiz bank question options
  • Never two quizzes are exactly alike
  • You can still tailor a quiz or set one up for a group read aloud by selecting specific questions from the bank
  • Quiz questions in a bank can be edited from inside the specific bank
Cons:
  • Quiz questions must be edited from inside the specific bank
  • When you import a past course, you must rebuild the quiz by relinking the bank
