01:02	months before this becomes kind of our main quiz platform
01:06	. Yeah . And it's a hot topic . I
01:07	think every time we talk about some of the assessment
01:10	tools are the things that we have built in to
01:13	our platform quizzes right there at the top of the
01:16	lists and already people are filtering in to the comments

02:18	where you're at , what makes canvas special . The
02:21	crazy things that you're doing with canvas quizzes . We
02:23	love all of those things because it gives us lots
02:25	of content to build off of during the session .
02:28	You never know when your quiz or question might pop
02:31	up in today's session . Lauren obviously you can tell
02:34	I'm a little fired up about canvas quizzes . I
02:37	don't know a whole lot of other , a whole
02:40	lot of other learning platforms or systems that go to
02:42	do with this amount of trouble to get excited about
02:45	a quiz or assessment platform . But I'm here ,
02:47	I'm here . So we're gonna give Lauren a little
02:50	bit of time here . I'm fired up . I'm
02:51	gonna kind of go back into the background into the
02:53	shadows as they call it . And we're going to
02:55	learn about new quizzes today from our good friend Lauren
02:58	Martini learning consultant with CPS . Take it away .
03:02	Thank you very much , Eddie . Um I'm really
03:04	excited to be joining you all today to talk about
03:06	new quizzes . It is one of our kind of
03:09	ever changing aspects of canvas . It's something we are
03:14	really proud of , but also continually making improvements to
03:17	. So we're going to talk today mostly about the
03:19	basics in case you I have never used it or
03:22	in case maybe you've just tried one or two of
03:25	the new question types . Um and then I'm also
03:27	going to talk about the benefits of using it .
03:28	So in addition to the fact that currently our roadmap
03:33	suggests that we are going to be doing new quizzes
03:36	and no longer old quizzes in about 2022 . Um
03:39	That is currently our calendar july 2022 for every region
03:44	except asia pacific and that's going to be december 2022
03:48	. Um You've got about 15 months before new quizzes
03:52	really becomes your kind of main assessment platform . And
03:56	that means we have 15 months to make some really
03:58	priority enhancements to make sure it is not only functioning
04:03	um similar to how classic quizzes is functioning , but
04:06	it's functioning better . So that's always our goal is
04:09	to keep improving upon what we have . So you
04:11	will see a few new features that we've built out
04:14	in the past few months in addition to , I'm
04:16	going to kind of talk about what's coming down the
04:18	pipeline as well . So for today , right ,
04:24	we're gonna talk about what this new quizzes look like
04:26	. How do I build or migrate to new quizzes
04:28	? And that migration question is one of my favorites
04:31	because it's such a simple answer and it will save
04:33	you so much time . Um and then we're gonna
04:35	look at the four kind of different question types .
04:37	There are more than four ways that the similar questions
04:41	to classic quizzes , interactive new quizzes , different ways
04:43	to grade , different ways to assign partial credit ,
04:46	etcetera . But there really are four main question types
04:50	that have really , really improved new quizzes in my
04:53	opinion . And then we'll look at the benefits of
04:55	new quizzes and talk about what's happening next . So
04:59	first things first , what do my images mean ?
05:01	This is one of the first questions I get when
05:04	I asked teachers that they asked me , well ,
05:06	what about on quizzes ? Can I do this ?
05:08	My first question is always , are you working in
05:10	classic ? Are you working in new quizzes ? And
05:13	a lot of times they know , but oftentimes they
05:15	say , I don't know , it's it's a green
05:17	rocket ship . It's a gray rocket ship . So
05:20	I want to just talk about what these icons mean
05:23	. So first things first , we have this published
05:26	classic quiz . You'll notice that we have either green
05:29	or grey option . The colors will tell you if
05:32	the quiz is published or not . Um , over
05:35	on the right hand side . Further over , you'd
05:37	be able to see that circle with the checkmark .
05:39	But when you're just looking on the left hand side
05:41	and reading the quizzes , um , you'll be able
05:43	to see that both of these quizzes , my citation
05:46	formatting quiz and my quiz , All question types .
05:48	These are both green , meaning they're published . So
05:51	that is all that the green versus grey means .
05:53	Now , the next part is how do I know
05:56	if it's a classic or a new quiz ? Well
05:58	, primarily by whether or not it's filled in .
06:00	So your classic quizzes will be outlines whether they are
06:04	green or gray and your new quizzes will actually be
06:07	filled in rocket ships again , whether they are green
06:09	or gray . So this would be a published classic
06:12	. This would be a published new and then these
06:14	would be unpublished , Classic and unpublished new . So
06:17	just when you're reading your icons , that's a really
06:19	quick and easy way to kind of figure out what
06:21	it is you're currently working in , um and also
06:24	to kind of push yourself to maybe try something different
06:28	. So we are going to actually , I'm gonna
06:31	jump out and take you through what new quizzes look
06:33	like and we're going to actually pretend to be one
06:36	of my students I want you to see . And
06:38	don't worry , Ron Weasley is only only a student
06:41	in my dreams . Um I'm gonna show you kind
06:44	of what it looks like from a student's point of
06:46	view , Lauren Lauren while you're jumping through that .
06:50	I just like to say a couple things . We
06:52	have a ton of people joining us today . This
06:54	is live , I just , this live streams ,
06:56	got juice . I just text somebody , lots of
07:00	, I knew you were a little nervous , so
07:03	I was trying to get you over the hump .
07:05	We have a ton of people joining from around the
07:08	world . Canada Peru um this is this is great
07:12	, fantastic stuff already . I think , I think
07:14	there was probably a lot of people either , you
07:17	know , if they're virtually they're at home or they're
07:18	in their classrooms , were screen shotting that last image
07:22	that you shared of the classics and new quizzes even
07:26	I have trouble . I need like a little cheat
07:28	sheet that I could print off beside my monitor when
07:31	I was creating quizzes and pivoting back and forth between
07:34	, you know , classic and new . It's fantastic
07:36	. So keep it up , keep up the good
07:37	work . Um and as we get new comments ,
07:39	I'll pop in and throw them on the screen so
07:41	people can know where everybody's from Minnesota in the house
07:44	. Keep it up . Lawrence . Perfect . Thank
07:47	you , Eddie . Um so just so you're aware
07:49	, I've jumped in and I'm acting as one of
07:51	my students . So I do want you to see
07:53	what the new quizzes will look like from the students
07:55	point of view because at the end of the day
07:57	, um pedagogic , we were really trying to do
07:59	everything we can to enhance the experience of the student
08:02	. Well also on the other side , not making
08:05	, you know , hours and hours of more work
08:06	for ourselves . So we do need to find that
08:08	nice balance and I want to show you how that
08:10	balance works on the student end . So you'll see
08:13	that for new quizzes , it does populate in their
08:16	to do list , so it will show up instead
08:18	of having that rocket ship , it actually is going
08:20	to be an assignment for them in their to do
08:22	list , so they won't have to dig around .
08:24	Um it will populate in their to do list for
08:26	them . Now as a student , if I jump
08:29	in , I'm automatically going to be able to see
08:31	the due date and how many points it's worth .
08:33	And if I go into the quiz it's going to
08:37	show me well this might be past due , but
08:39	I have a time limit and I can jump into
08:41	the quiz and I can begin it . I'll take
08:45	just a moment to load . It will always keep
08:47	my clock at the top of the screen for me
08:49	. So I never have to worry about trying to
08:51	figure out where my timer is and then you can
08:54	go through and we can kind of talk about some
08:56	of these questions . Now from a student's point of
08:58	view , what's really great is this pin ? So
09:01	if a student doesn't know the answer to a question
09:03	, they can pin the question and before they submit
09:06	, the submit button will actually warn them and say
09:09	, hey , you've got some questions that you pinned
09:11	or maybe wanted to come back to . If they
09:13	have any blanks , it will also alert them to
09:15	that . So before they submit it will say just
09:18	wanted to verify , you're ready to submit with either
09:20	a pin question or with any blanks . It's a
09:23	really great reminder for the students . So this first
09:26	question type that I'd like to show you is ,
09:28	is really targeted more towards like your K2 with your
09:31	rising readers where you may have an image and then
09:34	you may be asking the students to identify what letter
09:36	it is . We call this question of hotspot .
09:39	And what's really great about this is that the student
09:42	just goes down and realizes this is a cat .
09:44	It begins with C and he clicks on the sea
09:47	. Now as the teacher , you have it set
09:49	up where anywhere on this green tile is a correct
09:52	answer . This is a really , really great tool
09:55	for things like identifying parts of the cell . Um
09:57	, you can do it , you'll see question number
09:59	two for counting again . Really great for K two
10:02	, we're going to count the ducks and then we're
10:04	going to click on the number three . So hotspot
10:07	questions allow students to click anywhere in an image that
10:11	you've uploaded and as long as they click within the
10:14	field that you've identified as a correct answer , it's
10:18	going to automatically graded is correct . Which is really
10:21	great for you as a teacher because auto grading just
10:24	changes everything . So you can also see that we've
10:28	got kind of these call them polygons , but these
10:31	kind of oblong or irregular shapes , you can absolutely
10:34	do that , whether it's with a map or the
10:36	number three , you don't have to just have a
10:38	big circle where if they click out here it's correct
10:40	. They will have to click somewhere in the shape
10:42	that you decide . And we also have the ability
10:45	to just do circles . So , ovals , circles
10:48	, rectangles , whatever shape you need for the image
10:50	that you're using . So we're going to talk more
10:53	about how to build hot spot , but that's what
10:54	it looks like . Sorry Lauren , I'm gonna pop
10:56	in here . Hotspot is huge um in any type
11:00	of assessment that you're trying to . My example has
11:04	always been had a ct teacher that taught construction trades
11:07	, had a lot of um , a lot of
11:09	issues with students that were uh consistently missing tools like
11:14	go get me a hammer or go get me .
11:17	Um you know , I need a monkey wrench .
11:19	Well , people don't get kids , they forget what
11:21	that is , right . They've been showing it ,
11:23	they've been tested on it , but they need a
11:24	little bit more remediation . So they would do almost
11:26	like a bell ringer every day that had , you
11:29	know , a photo of all of the tools and
11:31	the student would have to click on and choose ,
11:33	you know , each one of those , which is
11:34	fantastic . Like the hotspot feature alone was the first
11:38	one I started with when I showed new quizzes .
11:39	I'm glad you're starting there as well . And it's
11:41	it is the one that I think blows a lot
11:43	of people away as an assessment tool that we provide
11:46	. We did have a question come in from facebook
11:49	. Uh and it was curious because it's more about
11:51	the time remaining in the hotspots , but I love
11:53	the hotspots . Um it says here , can you
11:55	see the remaining time of students and moderate this quiz
11:59	in new quizzes ? So , I am actually going
12:01	to take you through that moderate tab . You will
12:04	be able to see how long it , how long
12:06	it took in which students are still on it .
12:08	And you'll be able to filter based on students that
12:10	have taken it . Students who are still on the
12:12	quiz and you can see through that definitely . Perfect
12:15	. So we'll be coming there And I also I
12:19	love to Eddie that you pointed out that new quizzes
12:22	, it's not just you know high points or high
12:24	stakes assessment . New quizzes can be a zero .
12:26	Great , it can be a bell ringer . It
12:28	can be an exit ticket . It can be a
12:30	practice quiz . It can be whatever you want it
12:33	to be . Just because it's titled New quiz doesn't
12:35	necessarily mean that it has to take this huge impactful
12:39	kind of grade point value from the students . So
12:43	definitely a really great thing to point out with those
12:44	bell ringers is it can be you know 50 points
12:47	. It can be two points . It can be
12:49	a zero point quiz or practice quiz to . So
12:51	I love that you pointed that out . Thank you
12:54	. So hot spot questions are one of my favorites
12:56	. It's one of the new features of new quizzes
12:58	. Um You'll see two . We still have our
13:00	great questions that we have from classic quizzes . We
13:03	do have our multiple choice , we have our true
13:06	false . Now it's really cool if we can do
13:08	different types of fill in the blank where as a
13:11	teacher I've identified multiple possible correct answers for this .
13:15	So the student could type in the number of the
13:17	numeric one . They can type in O . N
13:20	. E . They can type in a cent right
13:23	if they're using the pronoun or beside the article .
13:27	So they can multiply they can pick any of those
13:29	answers and you can identify what's correct . So this
13:32	prevents you from having to go back and regret it
13:34	. If you have like that one student who typed
13:37	in the Numeric one . But in classic quizzes you
13:39	can really only have one correct answer again , just
13:42	really helpful with auto grading in terms of accepting multiple
13:44	answers . Um And then the other type of fill
13:47	in the blank is you can have multiple fill in
13:49	the blanks with different answer types . So when you
13:51	cross the street you should look left , right ,
13:54	left and the students can type in there and you
13:57	can control whether or not you want to count it
13:59	wrong due to spelling or capitalization . So again ,
14:03	a similar question type that we have in classic quizzes
14:06	but just real significant enhancements on how you the teacher
14:11	are able to kind of um automate some of your
14:14	grading and some of the feedback that the students receive
14:17	. You can also see that they can click multiples
14:20	. So if there are multiple answers instead of having
14:22	to have a multiple choice where it's , you know
14:24	, abc and then A or B or A and
14:27	C . They can actually just go ahead and click
14:30	into those questions . Another really great one that I
14:35	love that we've created is matching where you can create
14:39	whatever you need them to match where they would typically
14:41	on a worksheet draw line . Now they're able to
14:43	actually just have a drop down and you'll notice to
14:46	what we're able to do is we can add as
14:49	the teacher , we can add these distracters where there's
14:52	only three options , but I have six choices .
14:55	So I can add in some kind of wrong answers
14:58	to maybe throw the students depending on on how nice
15:01	you're feeling that day . So for this we're just
15:03	matching the office couple . So we're gonna match holly
15:05	and Michael . We're gonna match Jim and Angela ,
15:08	I'm sorry , Jim and pam . And then Dwight
15:10	and Angela . But you'll notice too that even though
15:14	I've included Michael and pam up here , it doesn't
15:16	take it off of my options . So the students
15:19	aren't necessarily crossing it off as they go . It'll
15:22	still populate all the possible questions . So my suggestion
15:26	when we do matching is be aware of how many
15:29	actual matching you're do you're doing as well as how
15:33	many distracters you're throwing in because if they have 10
15:36	of these and it's not automatically removing Michael or pam
15:40	from a future one , you can get really distracting
15:42	depending on the age level of your students . As
15:45	to how many times are having to kind of question
15:47	. Wait , did I put Michael in there ?
15:49	Is pam in there . So just be kind of
15:51	aware of the amount of matches that you're doing .
15:57	We also have another matching where you can do animals
16:02	. Again with distracters , you can do math problems
16:06	or formula problems . So you can type out the
16:09	100 what pi is . What's really cool about the
16:12	formula option is that we may be seeing for here
16:15	, but the student next to me and they have
16:16	six trucks or the student next to him . They
16:18	have 12 . It all depends on how you ,
16:20	the teachers set it up , but you can actually
16:22	include a variable formula and then decide what you want
16:26	X to be between one and infinity . So it
16:28	can have a range of different numbers for students and
16:31	again it auto grades based on that variable . You
16:36	can add in an essay question and you can even
16:38	include word count limits if you want a word count
16:40	limit for some of your students . I know that
16:42	I sometimes did , you can add in images where
16:46	they can actually grab an image from the internet and
16:48	load it into a quiz or they can take a
16:50	picture at home and they can upload it and then
16:52	they can actually put it into the quiz for you
16:54	. So finding 58 cents Lauren , we had a
16:57	question come in on our start Hildy , which is
17:01	one of the all time greatest influencers for canvas .
17:04	LMS . She is fantastic . She asked , I
17:08	have a teacher who asked recently if there's a way
17:10	to easily move classic question banks to new quizzes .
17:15	So the classic question banks are a little bit of
17:20	a different animal . Um , I would love to
17:22	approach that . Have one more question type that I
17:25	kind of want to show you a stimulus and then
17:27	he'll be , I will be right there with you
17:29	on the kind of question types , if that's all
17:31	right . Um So for the last question that I'm
17:35	going to kind of show you is the stimulus .
17:37	Now this is similar to hot spot . I mean
17:40	I go back and forth between which one is my
17:41	favorite between hot spot and stimulus question I think is
17:44	a former english teacher . This one sometimes takes the
17:47	cake . Um but what you can actually do is
17:50	you can attach um you can do an image ,
17:52	you can do a PNG jpeg Jeff , you can
17:56	do text , you can do text and a separate
17:59	media upload . Um but you would have essentially a
18:02	question on the left hand side and then instead of
18:04	the students having to scroll down to see the six
18:08	questions that you're asking about the same prompt or the
18:11	same stimulus , you just scroll to the right and
18:14	everything on the left stays the same so they never
18:17	have to kind of move around . They have this
18:19	, I call it anchored but this is going to
18:21	be anchored on the screen for them and they're going
18:23	to be able to move through the questions without losing
18:26	that stimulus for that prompt . And then within that
18:28	stimulus you'll notice you can add any of the question
18:31	types that you really want to um into that stimulus
18:35	. So we can do multiple choice , fill in
18:37	the blank dropdowns , even an essay question , which
18:40	is a really great feature . And then you can
18:42	also do ordering . Um this would be essentially just
18:45	putting it , you can do chronological order . This
18:47	is great for like number lines or even if you're
18:50	working with like integers versus whole numbers versus fractions and
18:53	decimals , but you pick how you want them to
18:55	order it and then they would be dragging and dropping
18:58	those into the order that they think is correct .
19:03	So that's what it looks like from a student's point
19:05	of view . Again , that lovely timer as well
19:08	as kind of the pin are really great features .
19:10	You can also build in calculators for them if you
19:13	don't want them to have to do this by hand
19:14	so I can type in 1 80 times four and
19:18	I can get my answer um go back and then
19:21	I can type my answer in and it'll be submitted
19:24	with everything else . Let me go ahead and stop
19:26	acting as that user and then he'll do I want
19:28	to approach what you're kind of talking about in terms
19:30	of item banking and um we're question banking because those
19:35	are two different things and and those are a little
19:37	bit more advanced if we are using them . So
19:41	if I jump back in kill Mhm . You'll notice
19:49	if I go to quizzes um There is a really
19:52	great feature where again since this is an outline ,
19:55	it's a classic quiz . This skinny snowman right here
19:58	, this Kabob as we call it . If you
20:00	click there and you click migrate it's going to populate
20:04	it as a new quiz just automatically so you don't
20:08	actually have to go in and re copy any of
20:10	your questions now where this gets a little bit tricky
20:13	for right now is that item banking versus question banking
20:17	? Because inside of quizzes if you have question banks
20:21	those will come over to the quiz but they are
20:24	to the new quiz but they aren't going to function
20:26	the same way . Um What is going to happen
20:30	is your item banks for your question banks will move
20:32	over to the quiz but then you would essentially need
20:34	to go in and select which of those questions you
20:36	would actually want to do . So when it comes
20:39	to new quizzes and building out item in question banks
20:42	there is going to be kind of a preliminary rebuild
20:45	but you can actually bring them over and then you
20:47	can copy and paste them into multiple questions and add
20:50	them from there into a new question bank or into
20:53	a new item bank . But it won't necessarily if
20:55	you haven't um like an item banker question bank and
20:57	new quizzes it just won't function the identical way in
21:01	. I'm sorry if you have it in classic quizzes
21:03	it won't function the identical way in new quizzes .
21:05	There is gonna be some legwork so he'll be that's
21:07	something I'm more than happy to reach out to you
21:09	about and we can kind of talk further um in
21:12	regards to , but it can happen , it just
21:15	won't happen the same . It's kind of the short
21:17	answer to that . Yeah , and Lauren , I
21:19	think a lot of people again we know that there
21:23	is a lot of updates . I'm seeing a lot
21:24	of questions coming to chat . Maybe we'll just kind
21:26	of save some of them till the end and you
21:28	can kind of answer them as we get there .
21:29	Um but because I popping in and out is such
21:32	an important topic and I think people do get a
21:34	little , um a little upset about like , well
21:38	it's not doing exactly what the old quizzes did or
21:41	I'm really more comfortable with the old quiz , but
21:43	we do want to be clear , old quizzes has
21:46	a or classic quizzes has a shelf life correct ?
21:50	You did mention that at the beginning , maybe mention
21:52	that again , old classic quizzes will be gone at
21:54	some point . Um So it's best to start the
21:57	migration now into some of that new content and new
22:00	service . And as we know in canvas , our
22:03	engineers work really hard to make sure you never lose
22:07	functionality . Right . Um so you know , we
22:10	hope that once that migration happens completely um on our
22:14	end that you don't lose that functionality when it comes
22:17	time to have , you know , the full robust
22:19	system of new quizzes . Um I don't think there's
22:21	so much there that people are really going to kind
22:24	of get upset about moving from one to the other
22:26	. But it is enough to have that , you
22:28	know , audience of teachers and educators and administrators that
22:32	are using this um to really , you know ,
22:34	say , well I'm just more comfortable with the classic
22:37	quiz . Yeah , I definitely understand that . Um
22:40	I think we all are creatures of comfort and and
22:44	on Eddie's point there is there is kind of that
22:47	shelf life of the classic quizzes . But from my
22:49	understanding what that means is more of you'll be able
22:53	to still use your classic quiz for the time being
22:56	. But we won't , we will no longer be
22:58	kind of supporting any tech issues . We won't be
23:00	updating . But the idea at least as as I've
23:03	received it has been that for example my classic quiz
23:07	, like I could give this act five vocab quiz
23:10	um for an extension of that july 2022 but I'm
23:14	not going to be able to create and this is
23:16	where it gets tricky with the wording , new classic
23:18	quizzes . So if I were to create a quiz
23:21	, the only option would be our new quiz option
23:23	. But you would still have accessibility , two year
23:26	old quizzes . And again , if you just double
23:29	, if you click that skinny snowmen on the right
23:31	, you can migrate it now if you are somebody
23:34	who is kind of feeling like just classic quizzes is
23:37	my friend and I know it and it's going great
23:40	. Um I would suggest maybe taking a quiz that
23:43	you've already created and that you love from a classic
23:46	quiz migrating into a new quiz , kind of doing
23:48	a trial run with it . See really on a
23:50	quiz that you know and love what the differences really
23:52	are . Um the other option is to do something
23:55	that's no stakes . So do a zero point or
23:58	a five point bellringer , do something small . And
24:00	like you just saw that quiz that I just showed
24:02	you , it has every single question type by no
24:06	means is anybody expecting you to make every single quiz
24:09	with every single question type ? So maybe kind of
24:12	pick hotspots ? Maybe do a three question bell ringer
24:15	with a hospital hotspot questions and and just see how
24:19	it goes . Pick something and kind of focus on
24:21	it , take it in manageable what I call chunks
24:24	and then as you start feeling better with it ,
24:26	build upon those skills . So that would be just
24:28	a kind of a way to kind of test out
24:30	new quizzes as we do get towards that shelf life
24:34	. So in terms of migrating quizzes again , skinny
24:37	snowman and then we click migrate . Now what I
24:40	want to show you two is is again , as
24:42	Eddie and I have both mentioned new quizzes , it
24:46	changes , it changes quickly sometimes . So one of
24:50	the greatest things that came out in mid March for
24:53	in my opinion is the ability instead of if you
24:56	are building new quizzes over here in that global navigation
24:59	for new quizzes now , you can just click directly
25:02	into your module , Jump to quiz , create a
25:06	new quiz and it's actually gonna ask you what do
25:08	you want to create . So you can build your
25:10	new quizzes now directly in the module without having to
25:13	actually go in as the assignment external tool etcetera ,
25:16	it's gonna automatically populate that for you . So if
25:19	we were to build a quiz in here , we
25:22	can drop it into , you know , our quiz
25:24	folder , I can identify want and then once I
25:28	actually load it so you can see what it looks
25:30	like as a teacher building . When you jump into
25:33	the quiz , the first thing you're gonna see is
25:36	typically on classic quizzes . What we see at the
25:38	very very end , right ? Like it's everything settings
25:41	wise that we need , this is gonna be the
25:43	first thing you see and this for me when I
25:45	was learning the difference was kind of the the thing
25:49	I had to wrap my head around the most was
25:51	just the difference in order of how I set things
25:53	up for my new quizzes . So again you can
25:55	edit the title . Um I always suggest giving it
25:58	point value even if you don't know how many points
26:02	is going to end up being . And the reason
26:04	why is as you saw it auto populates at zero
26:07	. If for some reason you forget to change this
26:09	point value and the students take it , it won't
26:11	regret for you . But if you have any value
26:13	in there and you didn't maybe say you just set
26:16	of 10 as the reminder number . But really it
26:19	ended up being a 20 point quiz . If you
26:22	go back in here and change it it can actually
26:24	um it'll function differently than it's bit zero . So
26:27	I always suggest throwing any random point value if you
26:31	know it off the top of your head . Great
26:32	enter it if you don't quite know what that quiz
26:34	is gonna look like yet , just throw a 10
26:37	of 15 to 2100 because then at least it'll be
26:39	you know 100% or whatever you want to do .
26:41	Um As a placeholder you can again choose your assignment
26:46	type , how you want it to display very similar
26:49	to your classic quizzes and then you don't have to
26:52	do anything here . It's already set up as an
26:53	external tool . You pick your duty so maybe this
26:56	is gonna be due on friday . You can make
26:58	it available from and until if you wanted to be
27:00	a pop quiz and you don't want your students to
27:02	know . You can absolutely set it as a pop
27:04	quiz to show right before class or if it's something
27:07	more open ended where they've got , you know ,
27:09	like center's activities that week . So they've got monday
27:11	through friday to work on it . You can adjust
27:13	that availability for them as well . So when I
27:16	click save and publish and again you have the option
27:19	to save it without publishing . Now I can build
27:22	my questions . That again was the hardest part for
27:24	me because I got down to save and I was
27:25	like , but I haven't put any questions in there
27:28	yet . So you do have to click that save
27:30	button and now you're able to actually build your questions
27:33	. One thing that I also really love about new
27:35	quizzes is when you build that question , say you
27:38	did five questions , but you accidentally um forgot to
27:42	add in question number three instead of having to add
27:45	it all the way at the bottom and then trying
27:46	to drag it and move it around . Like we
27:48	do in classic quizzes , you can add in between
27:51	questions wherever you want . So for me that was
27:53	just such an ease of use . So once you
27:55	click that ad question , you can pick your question
27:58	types and our community has how to step by step
28:02	guides on every single one of these question types .
28:05	Um I wish we had an extra two hours so
28:08	that I could go through how to do each one
28:10	of them individually . Um but you can absolutely access
28:12	the community and kind of look at how these are
28:15	actually built so that they appear the way we saw
28:18	in that student built and then Hi , any ,
28:23	I can see you but I can't hear you on
28:27	mute , your mic dummy . Uh yeah , that
28:31	happens right . I'd do it all the time because
28:33	I'm so I'm doing the chat and I'm looking up
28:35	links because we've got a lot of questions in the
28:36	chat , but you brought up a term that I
28:38	think will be very helpful to some of the people
28:40	in the chat today . The campus community , you
28:43	know , there are a number of documentations and I
28:47	just posted the link for , um , the new
28:49	quizzes timeline . So everybody was very , you know
28:51	, it ask questions like the date seems to change
28:54	or when is it ? And what does it really
28:55	end ? Um , and we do have documentation that
28:58	shows exactly when uh , that that new quizzes is
29:01	going to be gone forever and , and kind of
29:03	the timeline of what that looks like . So we've
29:06	put that in there in the chat and those comments
29:08	. So hopefully you guys have a chance to look
29:10	that up also . I'm kind of digging in the
29:12	community . Again , great resource for things like our
29:16	canvas release notes . There's a lot of questions specific
29:18	to when will it get this right ? When will
29:21	it get blank and that , you know , when
29:23	will it we have the ability to do this or
29:24	have the ability to do that . So I think
29:26	this is also a great opportunity . Um if there
29:28	is a feature that you really love or that you
29:30	really are passionate about it doing that , it currently
29:33	doesn't . You have the ability as a user to
29:36	actually send that feedback to canvass . Engineers . Trust
29:40	me , they read it unfortunately , Lauren and I
29:43	a little bit higher up on the pay grade to
29:45	be able to tell you what's coming and what's not
29:47	coming and what will be available when So Lawrence you
29:50	show really quick where they can go into that help
29:53	menu on the canvas . Global navigation kind of throwing
29:56	you for a loop here . Um but showing them
29:58	where they can kind of submit an idea or submit
30:01	a feature request that gets sent to our engineers and
30:04	then they compile those and then create kind of the
30:07	next release based off of those things . So some
30:10	of depending on the institution you're with or the school
30:13	you're with , your navigation bar is going to look
30:14	different . That's just gonna be at an account level
30:16	. So your navigation bar may not look like mine
30:18	. Mine is through Cps . So if you go
30:21	to that help button at the bottom you're gonna see
30:23	all these pop outs . You're gonna be able to
30:25	search the canvas guide . Um you're gonna have video
30:28	conferencing information and again your is gonna look different depending
30:31	on the institution that you're with . You can report
30:35	problems , you can access training portals or at least
30:38	our students are CPS can and then I think the
30:42	canvas materials that Eddie is specifically discussing example for are
30:48	proposing a new idea that is going to be either
30:51	if your admin is included , it in this help
30:53	, it will live there in this help button or
30:55	you can actually access it from the community if you're
30:58	admin , um if you're like the root account hasn't
31:01	added it into the global navigation but you could probably
31:04	just even jump on google and type in like submit
31:07	a new quiz proposal . I've been on that page
31:10	. I love that page and I frequently go back
31:14	and see updates on it . But that is really
31:16	how we make these changes . So the more vocal
31:18	you are about what you need in order for this
31:21	to realistically be the only kind of assessment platform we
31:24	offer , the more likely it's going to happen .
31:27	So if you see somebody who has made the same
31:29	comment as you , feel free to comment again ,
31:31	but also feel free to like that person's comments so
31:33	that our engineers can actually see that and say ,
31:36	wow , we have 100 and 17 likes on partial
31:38	credit , We really need to get on that .
31:40	So that's a really great way to stay active and
31:42	actually have a voice in what changes because especially for
31:45	new quizzes , I feel like we are incredibly receptive
31:48	to those ideas within what we can actually manage technologically
31:54	gonna also just jump into settings . So you can
31:57	kind of see um some options as a teacher ,
31:59	again , very similar settings , but it just feels
32:02	and looks different than classical quiz than classic quizzes .
32:04	So you can still shuffle your questions , you can
32:07	still shuffle answers , you can do the one question
32:10	at a time and give all of your students a
32:12	heart attack . Like mine used to have um you
32:14	can require that access code set time limits . Um
32:18	That's a great thing to is , you can give
32:19	them hours and minutes specifically . Um You can also
32:23	allow calculators if this is going to be more of
32:25	like a math science where they need a calculator but
32:27	you don't want them to bring something in . You
32:29	can do a basic . And what's really cool is
32:30	you got that scientific option as well , allowing multiple
32:34	attempts ? Really , really great . And what's so
32:36	great about this in my opinion is you can choose
32:38	which score to keep averaging highest , the latest ,
32:41	the most recent one they took . You can limit
32:43	the attempts that they take . Um And then you
32:46	can also require time periods between their attempts . So
32:49	, for example , for grammar , for my students
32:51	, if they scored below a certain amount , I
32:53	did want them to retake it because my end goal
32:55	was mastery of the topic , but I didn't want
32:57	them to retake it that afternoon . I wanted them
32:59	to come in and see me and actually sit down
33:00	and work . So I may do a keep the
33:03	highest score with two attempts . Um And then I
33:06	can actually say you need two days , I'm gonna
33:09	give you two days to study for this , but
33:10	you can actually control that weight period , which I
33:13	love . Additionally , you can restrict what the students
33:16	can and cannot see . So if you have a
33:19	quiz where there's an essay question or there is an
33:22	upload question that you have to manually grade . I
33:24	know we've all had it , right . The kids
33:26	get , they're great . And they're like , what
33:27	? I got a six out of 10 and you're
33:29	like , but I I still have to grade some
33:31	things like take a breath , you're fine . So
33:33	you can actually restrict what the students can see .
33:37	Um as far as you just want them to see
33:41	the questions and the answers or nothing . So you
33:46	can have them . Just see that they've submitted it
33:47	and that buys you some time where they don't see
33:49	their scores . They can't share the questions or their
33:52	answers with their classmates if you have them spread across
33:55	the day or across the week . Um So it
33:57	really does kind of , it gives it the feel
33:59	of like you took the quiz almost like you would
34:01	on paper and you stuck it in the folder and
34:03	now it's hands off until the teacher gives it back
34:05	to you . So there's some really great kind of
34:08	controls issues for how the students view their feedback as
34:11	well . And then also I want to show you
34:14	this moderate tool . So on the moderate tool and
34:18	I'm gonna actually jump into the question or the quiz
34:20	that I created that has student um availability . And
34:23	this is a really good point if you notice I
34:25	jumped into the quiz . But it took me back
34:27	to this initial page . This through me the first
34:30	few times that I was playing with this tool ,
34:32	you just need to go down and click save and
34:34	now it's going to load all of your questions again
34:37	. So this is how you would actually edit the
34:39	questions . It feels unnatural . Um but that's all
34:43	you have to do is just click save . It
34:45	will populate your questions and then you as the teacher
34:48	can come into moderate . And this was the question
34:50	that we got earlier in terms of how can we
34:52	see where the students are . So I have one
34:55	attempt in progress , that was that Ron quiz that
34:57	we did , right ? So I can see ,
34:59	and I can see it hasn't been submitted , I
35:01	can actually submit for him . So if you had
35:04	a student whose computer timed out their computer died ,
35:06	you were concerned may have been dishonest on the quiz
35:10	, you can go ahead and submit it without causing
35:12	a fuss or telling that student to close your computer
35:15	and then you can actually filter how you want to
35:17	view the feedback . So I just want to look
35:19	at my submitted quizzes and then I can see out
35:22	of one attempt , you know , Bruce Banner got
35:23	a 52.5 , it took him five minutes . Um
35:27	Whereas you know Bruce Wayne got a 99 and it
35:29	took him 16 minutes so I can go in and
35:32	view this information and I can actually round button I
35:36	can actually load his quiz and it will show me
35:41	kind of what he chose and what the correct answers
35:43	were . So I can view it as he would
35:45	with the answers . Which is great . The other
35:48	really really wonderful thing that as a teacher who had
35:51	like extended time testers or any sort of accommodations I
35:54	PS five fours is disability right here to actually build
35:59	accommodations in . Now what's fantastic is you have two
36:03	different types of accommodations you can give you can give
36:07	the student themselves an accommodation that's going to stay with
36:11	the student for every quiz in the future until you
36:14	make any edits which would have been just mind bogglingly
36:19	helpful in my classroom of not having to kind of
36:22	remember who's got what and win . But if Bruce
36:25	for example gets a . I . P . Or
36:27	five or four or extended time I can come in
36:30	here and I can actually either remove my time limit
36:33	. I can give him the time multipliers to say
36:35	he gets 100% extended time . I can multiply that
36:38	time by two . And this accommodation will stay with
36:41	Bruce for all future quizzes until I go back in
36:45	and I remove it . So there's nothing that you
36:48	have to set up on every single quiz . What's
36:51	also really great is if it is just a one
36:54	quiz thing , see Bruce was just having a bad
36:56	day that 52.5 is really unlike him . He came
36:59	in five minutes late . You know he had gotten
37:01	a phone call before that just like destroyed his day
37:05	. If you just kind of want to throw him
37:07	a little kind of nicety on this quiz alone ,
37:10	you can come over here to moderate and this will
37:13	either give him another attempt and it will only go
37:15	to Bruce um or I can just kind of give
37:18	them some extra time . You're five minutes late for
37:20	the quiz . You are a little frazzled , took
37:22	you some time to get in there , just gonna
37:24	give you five more minutes , right ? So let's
37:26	just throw that on . You're not done . You
37:28	just let's just give that to you . This what's
37:31	great about this moderate is this will only affect this
37:35	quiz . So that's the most important thing to remember
37:37	between the two is if you do it with the
37:39	pencil under accommodations it stays with the student , it's
37:42	an accommodation , it's something more permanent . Something that
37:45	will be , you know , a few weeks if
37:47	not the full year this moderate is really more specific
37:50	to this quiz um for this student . So you
37:53	know her mind he just needs one more chance at
37:55	it . That's fine . I can give her and
37:58	only her that extra attempt and she can go in
38:01	and retake it . So I love those accommodations in
38:04	that moderate option as well as just how clean and
38:06	nice this is . Um This does you'll notice it
38:09	will by the last name , alphabetize your results .
38:13	So just as a heads up if you're wondering first
38:16	names why they're all over the place . We're looking
38:17	at the last names in terms of alphabet , alphabet
38:19	Ization . So I know that was a lot and
38:23	I know there's a lot of great things that you're
38:25	probably excited about . I honestly I know I'm looking
38:29	at the clock going like but I could go on
38:31	but I won't , so I'm going to pass it
38:33	back to Eddie um and just wanted to kind of
38:36	uh just really quickly actually before I pass it back
38:40	to you , let me just jump in because I
38:41	know we had this question , okay , I'm not
38:45	gonna let you off the hook that easy . We
38:47	do have some questions that came out okay . That
38:49	I want to get to . Um this is just
38:51	one that before you jump back in . I'm curious
38:54	are canvas studio quizzes considered new quizzes ? I believe
38:58	so I but that's kind of a weird question because
39:02	I don't think they live in the same house ,
39:05	but they also kind of do some of similar things
39:08	. The icon is the same . So I don't
39:11	know , that's kind of a kind of an odd
39:13	questions like how would you answer that ? I would
39:14	, I would say yes , but I I think
39:17	everybody would maybe have their own interpretation . Are you
39:20	ready for a grammar lesson on adjectives versus announce that's
39:24	kind of what it boils down to . Is it
39:26	is a a new quiz in the lower case ,
39:29	new quiz sense and the fact that is a new
39:31	capability within canvas . The same way that this quiz
39:34	is a new quiz capability within canvas . However ,
39:38	when we give that proper now and that capital end
39:41	, when we're talking about new quizzes with a capital
39:43	end , we're really talking about this quiz feature when
39:46	we're talking about new quizzes with a lower case and
39:49	we're talking about studio quizzes and we're talking about new
39:52	quizzes . So they live in that same lower case
39:55	kind of adjective , new , but not necessarily in
39:57	that proper noun capitalized new . Hey , you're getting
40:00	, you're getting a mic drop moment in the in
40:03	the comments right now . So boom ! With the
40:04	accommodation . I did not know that difference that it
40:07	stayed with them . So huge , huge uh accommodation
40:11	inside quizzes . All right , we're gonna let you
40:12	finish up . But then you're going to answer questions
40:14	too happy to um just in terms of kind of
40:18	making your life easier and streamline streamlining the grading of
40:21	new quizzes . Um when we look at how things
40:23	are graded , you can see predominantly everything is going
40:27	to be auto graded for you . So students should
40:29	realistically be able to get um a quiz score or
40:33	something close to what the final quiz score will be
40:35	automatically . The only things that really require you to
40:38	manually grade are the logical things . Write the essay
40:41	, right ? We can't auto grade essays and when
40:43	we do somebody let me know because wow , what
40:45	a world that will be . Um And then file
40:47	uploads . You're checking to make sure that what they
40:49	actually submitted is correct . So these are the only
40:51	two things that cannot have any auto grade capabilities .
40:55	Um now within the auto graded you'll notice that I
40:58	have some with asterix and some without asterix . These
41:01	top 123456 are going to be things that automatically without
41:06	you doing anything will be auto graded for the point
41:08	value that you set it at whether it's 1.5 points
41:10	. However you want to set up your grading scheme
41:13	Now with categorization , matching , ordering and multiple answers
41:17	. These can auto grade some of them will be
41:20	all or nothing though . And what I mean by
41:22	that is if we are matching like you saw with
41:26	the office characters and say I just missed one it's
41:29	going to automatically grade the whole thing incorrectly . Now
41:33	that's something to definitely be aware of . Something that
41:35	you would then on the back end . If you
41:37	chose to give partial credit , say you wanted to
41:40	give them to the three points , you would need
41:42	to come in and just regrade that question for them
41:44	. Um If you really are an all or nothing
41:46	teacher this doesn't affect you because it would be all
41:49	or nothing . Also with the multiple answer you can
41:53	actually set up the multiple answer to grade how kind
41:56	of like the A . P . Or Yeah I
41:58	kind of have a P . Grades where it will
42:00	give them points for what they got correct but then
42:03	it will actually take off of a half a point
42:05	for anything that they marked as an answer that was
42:08	incorrect . Um and then it will actually take off
42:11	the full point for anything they miss . So it
42:12	will actually be taking points off of what they earned
42:15	rather than out of the total points available . So
42:18	um just to be aware that if you're an all
42:21	or nothing teacher , if you need to get it
42:22	all right or all wrong this doesn't necessarily affect you
42:26	. But if you have matching or ordering or categorization
42:29	and you're really hoping that you know say you're having
42:31	them do the alphabet and they get 24 out of
42:33	the 26 wrong . You don't want that kindergartner getting
42:36	a zero out of 26 do you ? Um You
42:38	would just need to go back and kind of auto
42:40	grade it now . I know that sounds like a
42:42	headache but that takes me to our next slide which
42:45	are our priority enhancements . So again going back to
42:48	Hilda item banks at an account level you'll see my
42:51	little hearts are the ones I'm most excited about but
42:54	that item banking at an account level is something that's
42:56	coming . Um We are going to be kind of
42:59	working with engineers to integrate the new RC , that
43:01	new rich content editor which should allow you to record
43:05	into any of like the rich content editing options when
43:08	you're making that quiz . Which will be a game
43:10	changer again for accommodations if you have students who need
43:14	things read aloud . Um We also migrating migration tooling
43:18	with quizzes and quiz banks . That's another one coming
43:21	. Um printing new quizzes . I know that was
43:23	a question that I saw on facebook yesterday . We
43:25	are going to be finding a way to make sure
43:27	that printing happens . Um and then in terms of
43:30	the grading this is going to be fantastic partial credit
43:34	. So like I was saying or if they got
43:35	you know 24 of the 26 wrong , it's counting
43:37	them all wrong . Hopefully in the very near future
43:40	because this is definitely one of our top five priorities
43:43	right now , we're going to be engineering away to
43:46	actually give those , those questions with the Asterix ,
43:49	they're going to be an easier way so that partial
43:51	credit can be automatically graded . So game changer ,
43:56	it's gonna make things so much easier . But just
43:58	to be aware right that currently my asterix question types
44:02	are going to possibly require me to go back and
44:05	grade , but soon one day very soon I hope
44:09	it will actually auto grade for you again , streamlining
44:11	your work and that's it for priority enhancements . If
44:16	you want any more information . I did make you
44:18	some tiny RLS for kind of comparing classic and new
44:21	quizzes and then also taking you directly to our community
44:24	page with our frequently asked questions on new quizzes .
44:27	I love the tiny RLS and we do have some
44:30	questions here and I think this is this is one
44:32	that typically is a misconception with new quizzes living in
44:37	an external um you know it's it's an internal tool
44:41	living in external world . So being an external tool
44:44	, I assume this won't be available in speed grader
44:47	. Um So if you want to touch upon that
44:49	, I'll put these tiny U . R . L
44:50	. S in the comment section . Sure I'm actually
44:53	gonna take you through that . So let me jump
44:56	back into my course , take you to the grade
44:58	book . Um You as a teacher will actually see
45:01	it populate on your to do list for grading and
45:05	then jump in . I'm going to view all sections
45:11	, you can see all of their grades and then
45:14	we just need to define the quits . There you
45:20	go . It populated right ? And speak greater for
45:23	you . So whatever grade actually got entered into ,
45:26	that new quiz got populated straight in and then you
45:29	can adjust as you see fit . Mhm You know
45:33	, it's interesting because I always like to just scan
45:36	the questions really quick and if we didn't get to
45:37	your question will try to hop in and do it
45:39	on the comments section after the stream is over .
45:42	But you answered so many of those last like three
45:45	slides . I was like , oh she answered this
45:46	, Oh she met that one . Okay , we're
45:48	not going to ask that one . So you did
45:50	, you did a fantastic job . Everybody give it
45:52	up for Lauren martini over in our largest learning services
45:56	department . Fantastic session . My goodness ! Just a
45:59	complete round of applause for you . Thank you .

46:10	lot of thanks coming in obviously on the chat .
46:13	Very exciting stuff . They obviously love when you share
46:16	some things that are kind of priorities that they can
46:18	be looking forward to . Um that's , that's the
46:20	thing . Canvas listens right . They do listen to
46:23	their users and they do fix and change things that
