Known Issues

The following are known issues in New Quizzes. These issues may not effect all users. Canvas is aware and working to remedy the issues by implementing monthly patches and bug fixes. This list will change based on improvements or newly identified issues.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Inability to control when grades and feedback become available to students by setting a date or selecting an event (e.g., after final attempt)
• Grades and feedback (if enabled in the Quiz Settings) are available to students immediately, regardless of the grade posting policy and status of the associated gradebook item.  This is a byproduct of the fact that New Quizzes is an LTI tool, and therefore behaves differently than native Canvas tools.
• Bug:  In item bank questions, embedded media and links to content stored in the course Files tool are only visible to students in the course in which the question was created. Students in other courses will not be able to view or access these materials.  
• No surveys
• Lack of robust reporting, including inability to view or download a complete record of all student attempts with answers to each question. 
• Regardless of the number of points available in the quiz, the point value entered in the assignment details determines the value in the Gradebook. For the Gradebook score, the percentage of quiz points earned is multiplied by the points possible in the assignment details. For example, if a student earns 18 out of 20 points (90%) on a quiz worth 15 points in the assignment details, the student's score in the Gradebook would be 90% of 15, or 13.5.
• When there are a lot of Classic Quizzes migrating to New Quizzes in course imports, some of the quizzes will fail with an "Oops! Something went wrong importing <quiz name>" message. If this happens to you, please reach out to the DEC for work-around options.
