Print a Canvas Quiz

Last updated on March 14, 2022

Canvas Quizzes are great tools for assessing students online, but you may want to deliver a Quiz created in Canvas in-person. For instance, you may be teaching a course you usually teach online in a classroom and want to reuse your material. In cases like this, you can print quizzes directly from Canvas to distribute to students in a classroom.

To accomplish this, we’ll need to use New Quizzes, but don’t worry if your quizzes are in the Classic format! CTLD generally recommends faculty use Classic Quizzes as they are currently more stable and user-friendly. It is very easy to create a New Quiz copy of a Classic Quiz and you can delete it in Canvas after printing if you like. If you already have New Quizzes, you can skip the first part of this tutorial’s directions.
