Example quiz questions for a Canvas course

Why should multiple-choice distractors reflect common misconceptions?Plausible wrong answers show which misunderstanding a student holds, so the quiz diagnoses gaps instead of only testing recall.

Should a true/false statement use absolute words like always or never?Usually no, because absolute terms make false statements easy to spot. Use precise qualifiers that match what the material actually supports.

What is the difference between a formative and a summative quiz?Formative quizzes check understanding during learning and carry little or no grade weight. Summative quizzes assess mastery at the end of a unit.

Why add an explanation to each answer choice?Explanations turn a wrong answer into a learning moment, because students see exactly why their choice does not fit the question.

How many options should a multiple-choice question include?Three or four is common in classroom quizzes, since each added option must still be a believable distractor.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a Canvas quiz have?

Many classroom quizzes work well with 10 to 20 questions, which is enough to sample a unit without overwhelming students. Shorter quizzes suit weekly checks, and longer ones suit end-of-unit reviews.

What makes a good multiple-choice question?

Each question should test one idea, and the wrong options should be plausible answers that reflect common misconceptions. Avoid answers like all of the above, since they often reveal the correct choice.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are part of paid plans. No credit card is needed to start.

Can I export quizzes for my school's LMS?

Pro exports QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, and Plus includes PDF and DOCX export. Whether a given Canvas setup accepts a file depends on your institution's import settings.
