How do I create a quiz with a question group linked to a question bank?

In Course Navigation, click the Quizzes link.

Click the Add Quiz button.

In the Details tab, enter the name of your quiz [1]. In the Rich Content Editor [2], introduce your quiz with formatted text, images, video, or sample math equations. You can even use the media commenting tool to record an introduction to the quiz.

Complete the rest of the quiz details [3].

Click the Questions tab [1]. Click the New Question Group button [2].

Give your question group a name [1]. Decide how many questions you want Canvas to randomly select from the group [2] and the number of points assigned to each question [3].

Quiz question groups are not automatically named for instructors. To add a custom name to your quiz question group, enter the name in the group text field. Custom names can help you identify quiz question groups more easily.

Regardless of the question group name, students always see quiz questions in numerical order (i.e. Question 1, Question 2).

Note:

• Quiz point values support up to two decimal places. Entering more than two decimal places will round the point value to the nearest hundredth.
• If you set a question group to randomly select questions from the question bank, the question bank and questions will not be included in quiz exports. The QTI file will download quiz details, but no questions will be included.

Click the Link to a Question Bank link.

Select the question bank you want to reference in your quiz [1]. Click the Select Bank button [2].

Confirm your Question Bank is linked to the question group [1]. Click the Create Group button [2].

To change the number of questions to be picked from the group or to change the points assigned, click the Edit icon [1]. To delete the question group, click the Delete icon [2].

Click the Save button to save your work and preview the quiz.

Note: You should not publish your quiz until it is your final product. If you are ready to publish your quiz and make it available to students, click the Save & Publish button.
