How do I align an outcome to a quiz question in New Quizzes?

You can align course-level and account-level outcomes to a quiz question in New Quizzes. Aligning an outcome allows you to measure student quiz performance using rating scales and mastery levels.

You can also align outcomes to a quiz.

Notes:

  • If you cannot see outcomes in New Quizzes, they have not been configured for your course. Contact your Canvas administrator for assistance.
  • Course outcomes cannot be added to quiz questions that already live in an item bank.
