How to use the Quiz Tool (Example Quiz with all question types)

The quiz tool is used to create and administer online quizzes and surveys. Quizzes can also be used to conduct and moderate exams and assessments, both graded and ungraded. A quiz can be published or unpublished (draft), and its availability can be set for a particular date and time, and to allow for student accommodations. 

You can use this space to provide instructions on how to complete the quiz, including linking images, videos, or files, and any details about the quiz.

Getting started with the quiz tool (see also "Quizzes" in the Canvas Instructor Guide):

• What options are available for Quizzes?

• Once I publish a quiz, what kinds of quiz statistics are available?
• How do I grade quiz questions in SpeedGrader?

Academic Integrity

1. You can use the quiz tool to create online quizzes and surveys (see "What types of quizzes or surveys can I create in a course?"). 
2. To consider students taking exams from different time zones, you could use the different start times for different sections of students (see "How do I assign a quiz to a course section?"). You can create sections via the UofT Advanced Group Tool to reflect the groups for your assessment.
3. To help promote academic integrity when delivering an exam through Quercus, you could randomize test questions (from a question bank) to create a unique assessment for each student, limit the date/time students are able to access the assessment (keep time limits brief but realistic; you can also give them extra time as needed), and/or limit the amount of time students have to answer each question (e.g. 2 minutes for each multiple-choice question)
4. While Quercus does not provide any type of browser lockdown (limiting access to certain things on a device), you can select quiz settings to maximize security without hindering student learning.
5. Use the Moderate Quiz page to view student progress or view quiz logs to view the status of your student quizzes. This feature is also designed to help you investigate problems that a student may have in the quiz.
6. If you want to hide the grades until a specific time (highly recommended), remember to set a grade posting policy (see "How do I select a grade posting policy for an assignment in the Gradebook?").
