Can I both shuffle quiz questions a keep a few aggregated?

[kimberlydavis]

Hi.  When making a quiz, is it possible to shuffle the questions while also keeping a few aggregated?  I mostly want them shuffled, but in cases where I have a multiple questions connected to one scenario/story problem, I'd like to keep those together.  Thanks!

In Classic/Legacy Quizzes, you can use question groups to shuffle the order of the questions within the group. Then you can follow those up with questions not from a group or you can create a second question group for those. Here is a lesson from the Canvas Instructor Guide: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-26199-how-do-i-create-a-quiz-with-a-question-group-to-rando... 

New Quizzes doesn't have question groups, they're called item banks, but you can do something similar there as well. Here are some lessons from the Canvas Instructor Guide about this:

• How do I add an item from an item bank to an assessment in New Quizzes?  
• How do I add all items or a random set from an item bank to an assessment in New Quizzes?
