Survey Support for Canvas Quizzes

New Quizzes supports survey-style quizzes that can be anonymous or non-anonymous, and either graded or ungraded. Instructors can view survey results in the Reports tab.

Surveys can include these question types:

• Multiple Choice
• Multiple Answer
• True/False
• Fill in the Blank
• Essay
• File Upload

This feature helps educators engage students and encourage reflection. It also makes it easier to collect feedback and check student understanding.
