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

Question Banks - Deep Dive

This is another "Deep Dive" video tutorial. These three 99second videos feature making and using Canvas Question Banks. If you build your quizzes using question banks and label them correctly in a way that makes sense you can build your quizzes around them so that each quiz that your students take will be randomized from a particular question bank. For example make up more questions than you want on the test, say 20, and have the test choose 10 from that bank. If you do a retake, the retake will automatically choose another group or a mixed group of questions from your bank. You can set the point values and also choose specific questions that you want every test to include such as vocabulary or a must-have important concept.
