Please consider whether all students are likely to have all 3 of these when considering the use of Canvas Quizzes.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Alternative<\/strong>: Use Canvas Assignments to enable students to submit the answers to the same questions you intended to use in your Canvas Quiz to mitigate the risks outlined above.<\/p><h5 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>\u25fc\ufe0fAssessment Design<\/strong><\/h5><p style=\"text-align: left\">Is the use of objective test questions such as MCQs appropriate to the learning outcomes of your course? If the learning outcomes of your course are focused on understanding, comprehension and application then it is difficult to test these using short form objective test questions. These types of questions will usually test knowledge and recall rather than understanding and application. If a student can conduct an internet search and easily find the answer to the question you are asking, for example; What is the capital of Mongolia?, then that question is likely to be knowledge based. If however the question was based on a scenario written by you, for example; Based on the scenario above which of the following ethical principles is under threat?, then this answer could not be easily \u2018Googled\u2019 and tests the application of knowledge. In higher education we are generally expecting understanding and critical thinking to be demonstrated so it is important to consider whether the questions in a quiz are appropriate for summative assessment.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Alternative<\/strong>: Use of Canvas Assignments to have students submit a longer, more considered piece of work that is related to the understanding of the content and authentic to their experience on the course.<\/p><h5 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>\u25fc\ufe0fQuiz Integrity<\/strong><\/h5><p style=\"text-align: left\">Can the integrity of the Quiz be guaranteed? Related to point 1 above the students will easily be able to search out the answers online in the current situation if the questions in your quiz are \u2018knowledge based\u2019. In addition to this, there is the risk that students may collude to answer questions collectively. You can overcome the first of these issues by good assessment design as described above, but please consider the potential impact of the second of these when designing your quiz and consider the use of Question Banks and Question Groups in Canvas to reduce the potential for such concerns to impact your assessment if you feel a quiz is still appropriate.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Alternative<\/strong>: Careful construction of appropriate questions and use of Question Banks and Question groups.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item panel \">\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-heading\" role=\"tab\" id=\"heading-1222\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"accordion-title  tabindex=\"-1\">\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"collapsed\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                    tabindex=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-parent=\"#accordion-69f8b47350afb\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-69f8b47350afb\" href=\"#collapse-1222\" data-target=\"#collapse-1222\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse-1222\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-1222\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"accordion-expander\"><i class=\"lqd-icn-ess icon-ion-ios-add\"><\/i><i class=\"lqd-icn-ess icon-ion-ios-remove\"><\/i><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"accordion-title-txt\">Sending media, location and contacts<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"collapse-1222\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-69f8b47350afb\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1222\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>\ud83d\udd34<\/strong>Watch the following instructional video which outlines how to create and use a question bank or refer to the guidance further below.<\/p><hr \/><h4 style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Video<\/span><\/h4><p style=\"text-align: left\">\u25b6\ufe0fLink to video guidance for step by step instruction on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Qzk3srfu8WU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Create a Question Bank<\/strong><\/a><\/p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qzk3srfu8WU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><hr \/><h4 style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Instructional Text<\/span><\/h4><h5 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>\u25fc\ufe0fCreate a Question Bank<\/strong><\/h5><p style=\"text-align: left\">It is good practice to set up question banks first\u00a0<strong>BEFORE<\/strong>\u00a0creating the quiz.
