Proctored, Automatically Graded & Time-Restricted Canvas Quizzes (most secure)

This page describes the type of automatically graded question types associated with a proctored, automatically graded, and restricted quiz.

Automatic Grading

Automatically graded question types include:

• Multiple Choice
• True/False
• Multiple Answers
• Multiple Drop-down   (can be used for Likert scale )
• Matching
• Numerical Answer 
• Formula (simple formula and single variable )

To increase security, you can also shuffle answer options and hide student quiz responses and use question groups to deliver questions from a bank at random.

Questions may be imported into Canvas using Respondus software. If you would like or need help with this process, please submit a request. You will need to provide an answer key for self-grading questions.
