Creating a Canvas Quiz
In Canvas select the Quizzes link [1] in the left-hand navigation menu. Click the +Quiz button [2] to create a quiz.

Add a descriptive quiz title [3], then add instructions for the quiz in the main text box [4].
Your instructions might include:
- How the exam is organized
- How long the exam will take
- What materials students can or cannot use

Recommended Exam settings for Academic Integrity
- Check the Shuffle Answers [1] box.
- Note: you will need to adjust wording for “all of the above” answers when using this setting.
- Consider using large banks of questions and randomizing the question delivery using question groups.
- If necessary, set a Time Limit [2].
- See Moderating Quizzes to adjust the time for accommodation purposes.
- Consider leaving the Let Students See their Quiz Responses [3] box unchecked.
- Consider showing one question at a time [4].
- Once checked, you can also lock questions after answering.
- Do not Require an access code [5] (this is used for proctored exams)
- Do not Filter IP Addresses [6]
- Assign the quiz to be available for a set amount of time
- Be sure to include an “until” date and time

Now you are ready to add the questions to your quiz using question groups.
