Review assessments from Tests & Quizzes.
All assessments from Tests & Quizzes will appear in the Quizzes tool in UVACanvas.
Note: Assessments, except for Practice Quizzes and Ungraded Surveys, will also appear in the Assignments tool in UVACanvas. If your UVACollab site had an assessment that was set to be available to Anyone with the link (Anonymous survey), the equivalent Canvas quiz will be an Ungraded Survey. For more information, see What quiz types can I create in a course? (opens new window).

WARNING: We strongly recommend reviewing all assessment questions and settings to see if you need to make adjustments. A comprehensive review of all assessment settings should be completed prior to publishing.
Get started reviewing quizzes.
The Canvas Quizzes tool includes options to create quizzes as either Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes. Assessments copied from UVACollab are Classic Quizzes. A white rocketship icon displays to the left of each quiz title, as shown in the screenshot above.
Select a quiz.
Select the name of the quiz to review.
Select Edit.
Select the Edit button near the upper-right corner of the page.
Review Details.
If your UVACollab assessment included a Description/Intro or associated file Attachments, these are included on the Details page under Quiz Instructions.
Select Questions.
Select the Questions link above the field with the quiz's name.
While reviewing, note the following.
Show Question Details
If your assessment includes fewer than 25 questions, you can select the Show Question Details checkbox near the top of the page for a quick overview of your question text, answers, and correct or incorrect answer feedback comments.
Quiz question labels with parts and numbers
Unless a UVACollab assessment was using the random draw from question pool setting for questions, each quiz question imported into Canvas should have a label of the part number and question number from the source assessment, e.g., Part 1, Question 1.
Note: Many UVACollab assessments only have one part. If the assessment only had one part, the Canvas quiz will have "Part 1" included in the labels for all questions.
Part descriptions in text blocks
If a Part in the source UVACollab assessment included instructions, embedded content (e.g., images, videos), or attachments in its Information, this content will be included in the Canvas quiz as a text block labeled with the Part number and title and Part Information. For example, if the original assessment had a first part titled Case Study 1 that included a scenario, the equivalent Canvas quiz would have a text block preceding the questions in that part labeled Part 1 - Case Study 1 - Part Information with the scenario as the text in it.
Note: If a Part in the source assessment had a Title, but no Information, that part's title will not be reflected in the Canvas quiz.
Question and answer ordering
If you had randomization enabled in the source assessment for either question ordering in a Part or for answers to multiple choice questions, 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 UVACollab and Canvas.
To ensure that your content would be available in Canvas, these questions were converted to the closest matching Classic Quizzes question type.
Below is a list of questions that have been modified from their original form. Open the link for an affected question option or type below to find a description of any potential issues.
There is no feature in Canvas comparable to the Minimum Point Value option in UVACollab. This setting will not be mentioned in the Migration Exception Log.
