Assignment Randomization

Reaching out to the community to get ideas for how your organization might be approaching a new idea we are thinking about.

At Capella we are trying to develop a way to randomize assignment instructions (much like quiz questions can be randomized) as a way to increase the authenticity of student work on written assignments.

We’d like to author assignment instructions with a variety of prompts and then randomize the students who receive those prompts within a section of a course. We would also like students to submit their work through the standard Canvas assignment and want all prompts to be graded by the same rubric.

Curious if anyone has attempted to do something like this either with Canvas functionality or another third party tool integrated into Canvas.

Thank you for your thoughts. cc @ConnieWacloff
