Resetting quiz attempts

Sep 17, 2018

I have quizzes that can be repeated once  and some can be repeated twice.  Every now and then something happens like the computer locks up and the quiz records it as a try.  Is there a way to reset this retry option so this student can take the quiz again.  I should mention that I'm using SCORM within Canvas.  How are the attempts recorded?  Would using a different browser or clearing the cookies reset this?

Hi there, Thomas.  That's a great question.  Part of what you'll need to consider is whether the settings in Canvas allow users to restart the course, or if there is a limit on course attempts in that interface.

In Quizmaker specifically, you can set the resume behavior in your player properties.  Quizmaker can give learners the opportunity to start where they left off if they leave the quiz for any reason.  The LMS should preserve this as the same attempt.

Does anyone who works with Canvas regularly have some insight?  Thanks!
