How to generate a complete overview of all quizzes in a Canvas account?

[tobe_baeyens]

As an administrator in Canvas, I am looking for a way to generate an overview of all quiz names across the entire (sub)account. I’ve checked the account settings to see if I can export a report, but I haven’t found anything specific for quizzes.

Is there a way to create a comprehensive list of all quizzes that have been created within a (sub)account?

Hello @tobe_baeyens two methods that can be employed are to use the Canvas API or the Canvas Data tool. But of course neither of these are point and click. You'll need to be able to run API calls to get the list of courses and also quizzes. And Canvas Data requires a fair amount of set up, perhaps licensing, etc.

Here is the documentation for the API:  https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/quizzes.html#method.quizzes/quizzes_api.index 

And here is a fine Canvas API getting started resource:  https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Developers-Group/Canvas-APIs-Getting-started-the-practical...

I hope this is useful information,

Best, Jeff

Hi @tobe_baeyens ,

quick and dirty approach would be to run an account level user access log and pivot table out anything in a quiz/ Quiz LTi category - this would pick up everything viewed by staff or students in the preceding 30 days ....
