Quizzes

Check Knowledge with Quizzes

Quizzes in Canvas can be used to assess comprehension of course material. Quizzes can also be used to conduct and moderate exams and assessments, both graded and ungraded. They can be created as self-grading assessments which can save the instructor some grading time. Even though Canvas Quizzes are called quizzes, they are used to create any online, question-based assessment for a course, such as an online exam or quiz.

Activities for Quizzes

• Quick ungraded knowledge check before or after a class meeting
• Midterm or final graded assessment, which can include essay questions or uploads of handwritten work
• Practice quiz to help students study for a larger assessment
• Ungraded survey to gather information from students at the start of the quarter
