Quiz/Module Prerequisite Question

[Rhernandez5]

Hello, I am requiring students to complete a particular quiz (quiz 1) before completing a second quiz (quiz 2). It seems the best way to do this would be to put quiz 1 in a module with the requirement of submitting the quiz, then put quiz 2 in a separate module with the prerequisite of completing the quiz 1 module.

But will this work if students have already completed quiz 1, before I had it in its own module with a requirement? If I make a new module that contains quiz 1 and set the requirement of submitting it, then make the quiz 2 module with the quiz 1 prerequisite, will Canvas remember that some students have already submitted quiz 1, prior to me putting it in its own module with a requirement? Or would students have to take quiz 1 again, now that it's in a new module with a requirement?

Students do not have to re-complete any assignments they have already completed as long as the requirement you put in place is met. If the requirement is just that they submit the assignment, then those who have already taken quiz 1 will not have to take it again and can attempt quiz 2. If you put in a requirement that they must score at least 5 out of 10 points and a student scored 4 points, then they would have to retake the assignment before moving on. Be sure to relock the modules after changing the requirements (Canvas will prompt you).

There is another option available besides a module for each quiz. You could put all of the quizzes into a single module in the proper order. Then go into the module settings and tell Canvas that all module items must be completed and they must be completed in sequential order. Which option works best for you depends on how use modules.

Hi James, this is helpful, thank you so much!

I am implementing a Canvas module this week and am having trouble getting it ready. Is there anyone that can help over the phone? 

The different quizzes in my module need to be edited and I am clueless at this point. I have been trying since this morning. 

In my quizzes, some of my questions have the correct answer selection wrong and I can not figure out how to change it.

I am using the free version of canvas for my WGU Capstone for my LxD degree.

How can I get someone on the phone, or at least on audio on my computer.

Do you know which version of Canvas Quizzes you are using?   There is the Classic Quizzes and the New Quizzes interface.  Here are a couple short videos to help you see the difference between the two:

• Quizzes Overview (Instructors) -- Classic Quizzes
• New Quizzes Overview (Instructors)

Also, what types of questions are you trying to edit within your quiz?  Multiple Choice?  True/False?  Matching?  Something else?

If you can give us these details, then we'll be able to provide some Guides for you to follow so you can see how to edit those kinds of questions.

Looking forward to hearing back from you soon!

 I can't exactly tell which quizzes I used. I don't recall choosing new quizzes but I did click the add quiz then moved quizzes where I needed them in the module.

It seems to only have happened to a couple of the true and false questions.

Hi @AnneNoble-Custe ...

Thank you for this information.  I'll provide you with Guides that show how True/False questions work in both the Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes interface.

• How do I create a True/False quiz question?
• How do I create a True or False question in New Quizzes?

Also, here's a video from Ashlee Espionsa on YouTube that might be of help:

Yes, she's great! This is the video I used to make my quizzes. I somehow messed up on which answer was True or False and it now says the correct answer is wrong. This video isn't showing me how to edit an already-published quiz. That and I have had friends go through module, it is how I realized a couple of the questions are marking correct answers wrong. How can I edit? Or do I have to delete question and do over?

There's no need to delete existing questions just to make an edit to the correct answer.  I've created a short video for you on how to change a True/False question's correct answer.  Hopefully this will help to clarify things for you.
