Quiz question labels.
Each quiz question imported into Canvas should have a label with the number of the question from the source Moodle quiz e.g., 1.
Question and answer ordering.
If you had Shuffle within questions enabled in the source quiz, they may have been randomly reordered during import.
Review assessment questions
There are question types and options that could not be imported due to a difference of features between Moodle and Canvas.
To ensure that your content would be available in Canvas, some these questions were converted to the closest matching Classic Quizzes question types when possible.
Below is a list of questions that have been modified from their original form or did not migrate. Open the link for an affected question type or option below to find a description of any potential issues.
Note: any descriptions created in your Moodle quizzes migrated as text in the Canvas quiz. There will not be an error logged as the information should be present in the quiz as expected.
Users of the MCS instance of Moodle had the option to add combined feedback for partially correct answers when a question was created. Canvas does not support this functionality. These questions will be identified in the Migration Exception Log as in the following example:
