How do I set up a quiz to be sent to my institution's student information system (SIS)?
If your institution is using a student information system (SIS) for grading purposes, you can set up a quiz to be sent back to the SIS. However, you must first specify which quiz(zes) in the course should be sent to your SIS as part of the grade publishing process. Each quiz must be modified individually. However, your institution may have already enabled an option for all quizzes to be configured for your SIS.
Once a quiz is set up to be sent to your SIS, the Assignment Index Page and Quizzes Index Page let you enable or disable a quiz by clicking the SIS sync icon next to the quiz.
Each SIS requires specific setup procedures to properly post grades for quizzes. Depending on how quizzes are assigned to students, some quizzes may not be supported. For details and and troubleshooting tips, view the appropriate help document for your SIS integration:
- Instructor Help: Canvas and PowerSchool (this integration requires the Post Grades to SIS feature option)
- Instructor Help: Canvas and Skyward
Note: The Banner integration does not require any assignment setup and only pulls total grades from the Gradebook.

How do I reorder questions or question groups in a quiz?
You can move quiz questions or groups after you've created them. You can manually drag and drop the question or group, or you can use the Move option, which is also accessible for keyboard users.
You can also reorder questions within a question group. However, please note that quiz ordering inside a question group is only a quiz management tool for instructors. Your students will always see questions from a group in a random order.
Note: To help identify quiz questions in the Move dialog menu, make sure each quiz question or group has a specific name.
