ITS is pleased to highlight Canvas tools and features that can help faculty and students achieve their goals. This week's tip is:
Place All Quiz Questions on One Page
When creating a Quiz in Canvas, you have the ability to place all questions on one page (this is a default setting). This choice is helpful for students who struggle with slow internet connections, as they do need to wait for multiple pages to load. It also reinforces good habits and reduces text anxiety by allowing students to check their answers before submitting. Instructions are included in the guide below:
