Canvas Tip.
With finals looming, here are a few exam/quiz tools available in Canvas:
- Akindi: this tool is integrated with Canvas to easily create multiple-choice 'bubble' sheet assessments you can give to students on paper or online.
- Classic quizzes: The original quizzing tool in Canvas that allows for CSV download of student results.
- New Quizzes: A quiz tool that can be easily printed as well - but does not have results downloads available.
If you have questions about what to use, or what combination to use, reach out to catl@uwlax.edu.
