When creating or editing a quiz, you can assign a quiz to a specific course section. Availability date functionality is still available for each graded discussion.

Only the section(s) specified in the discussion details can view the quiz.

When using differentiated assignments with the Gradebook, the quiz appears as a column for all students, but grade cells are grayed out for students who have not been included in the quiz. Grades cannot be assigned for students who have not been included in the quiz, and quizzes that are not assigned to a student are not factored into overall grades.

When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course, quizzes are also respected against closed grading periods.

If you accidentally published a quiz with an existing multiple answers question that needs to be corrected, you can use quiz regrade to edit the question and update student grades. Learn more about quiz regrade options.

Notes:

• Quiz regrade only applies to students who have already taken the quiz.
• Adding or removing a question as well as changing the point value for the multiple choice question does not trigger the quiz regrade feature.
• Adding or deleting answers from a multiple answers quiz question with submissions disables the option to regrade that question.

When a student views a timed quiz and time expires, Canvas auto-submits the quiz. However, if a student navigates away from the quiz page, the quiz submission remains outstanding. On the Moderate Quiz page, Canvas generates a warning message about the outstanding submission. This lesson shows you how to submit any outstanding submissions for a quiz at one time.

Note: Untimed quizzes cannot be submitted manually. Untimed attempts will remain active until the availability date has passed, at which point the quiz will be submitted automatically.

You can 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. The quiz starts the log when students begin the quiz, so some logs may show that the quiz is in progress.

If you gave the student multiple attempts for a quiz, the log will always show the most recent attempt by default. However, you can view any attempt within the log.

Notes:

• Quiz logs are only retained for six months.
• Quiz Log Auditing is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable the link to view quiz logs, learn how to manage feature options in the course features lesson.
