Overview

This tutorial will help you post your video quizzes to Canvas and help you grade any questions that aren’t self-grading. Most of the video quiz question types (multiple choice, true/false, select multiple, and fill in the blank) can be graded automatically, but short answer questions have to be checked by the instructor.
