Consider adding academic integrity questions to the start of each quiz.

Research shows that having students read and respond to academic integrity statements before a quiz or assignment can help them make the right choices. During my Sandbox practice, I am making a quiz library with academic honesty questions that can be used to ask students to commit to academic integrity -- and making this the first question on a quiz may help reduce cheating and reinforce the honesty that is expected.

Types of Quizzes

Create Graded Quiz

A graded quiz is the most common quiz, and Canvas automatically creates a column in the grade book for any graded quizzes you build. After a student takes a graded quiz, certain question types will be automatically graded. You can also view quiz results for graded quizzes in SpeedGrader or from the quiz results page.

Create Practice Quiz

A practice quiz can be used as a learning tool to help students see how well they understand the course material. Practice quizzes are not a graded quiz type. Students do not receive a grade for practice quizzes, even though the quiz results display the number of points earned in the quiz. Practice quiz results do not display on the student grades page and must be viewed from the submission details page. You can also view quiz results for practice quizzes.

Create Graded Survey

A graded survey allows the instructor to give students points for completing the survey, but it does not allow the survey to be graded for right or wrong answers. Graded surveys have the option to be anonymous. You can also view survey results for graded surveys from the quiz details page or in SpeedGrader.

Create Ungraded Survey

An ungraded survey allows you to get opinions or other information from your students, but students do not receive a grade for their responses. With ungraded surveys, you can make responses anonymous. Ungraded surveys are not a graded quiz type. You can also view survey results for ungraded surveys.
