Ashlee, great work. Thank you for posting tutorials on Canvas, It has been very helpful. I learned a lot from your lectures. Once again thanks much!

Great work, Ashlee. I've been teaching theatre full-time for 38 years so I'm very comfortable in the classroom. Now that I've moved to remote teaching it's a whole new world! Your videos are a terrific asset for me. Thanks.

I enjoy your videos and it they have saved me many times. Now I would like to know how to add a hands on test to Canvas. I am a welding Instructor and we need to be able to grade some test plates but this is done in the Welding Lab where we preform bend test, also visual test on these plates. I just need to know how to create this on CANVAS and I can't seem to find anything any where on the how to. I'm sure I would have to manually add the grade but how do I create the test to be able to do this on the Grade Section of CANVAS. Thank you

[maricarmenlira]

Ms. Espinoza, please add to your training the "points, " Will canvas automatically grade this? Where will the grade be recorded? What if I want to give students some pts. because they were really close to the answer on a fill in the blank? Also, I have not yet found a video on how to upload a worksheet where students can write on it WITH the GRADING protocol. I have seen one worksheet upload video, but how is grading conducted since there is no one question at a time via a box for each question. The worksheet, say, has 15 questions; students write the response on the upload, BUT how is this graded? Where and how do I write my answers so that canvas can grade it? Thank you.

[ryanoafericua]

hi thank you for your very useful videos, i just want to ask if you have some video for creating question bank in canvas? thank you again :D

[silramos]

I have enjoyed and appreciate your video on creating quizzes. Thank you. Also, Ms. Espinoza, I am looking for a good lesson/video on how to create a regular assignment that requires a fill in the blank response. Do you have such tutorial?

[Met]

I'm finding it annoying making quizzes in Canvas because you can't choose to have the same answers for every question - for example if I want it to be a survey and have the students pick from "I can do this", "I can't do this", "I need to practice this" - for every question then it's a real pain having to either paste that in (not really worth the effort) or type it again and again. There should be a way to upload your questions and answers from a file or have a "set stock answers" option.

Thank you for your awesome videos! I love your idea of creating pages with the content embedded in them to navigate through the course. My sticking point is that when the students go to a quiz, the chain of progression is disrupted, and the students have to navigate back to the next page in the module. Do you have a way to automatically send the student back to the correct page in the progression after a quiz?
