Question Banks or Stand-alone Quizzes

There are two options for organizing quizzes in Canvas:

Question Banks

Question banks provide the ability to reuse questions on different quizzes.

Question banks can be a very good way to keep questions organized. E.g. You can have a question bank for chapter 1, chapter 2, etc.

Questions taken from a question bank CANNOT use the re-grade feature.

In place of the re-grade feature, instructors can use ‘fudge points” when grading a quiz in Canvas. Fudge points allow you to manually adjust an overall quiz score. Learn more about fudge points.

 

Stand Alone Quizzes

If an instructor needs to adjust the answer to a question students have already taken, they can change/update the question’s answer, re-grade and update students’ scores.

Questions on a stand-alone quiz cannot not be reused on other quizzes.
