I discovered a nice way to create a Quiz in Canvas that associates images or really any multimedia with answer choices.
When creating a Canvas question choose either Fill in Multiple Blanks or Multiple Dropdowns. Multiple Blanks is similar to short answer, and the blanks may need to be manually assessed to provide latitude with spelling etc. Multiple Dropdowns works like matching or multiple choice.
In either of these cases you build the question and the answers in the rich text editor for the question field. Start by introducing the question, e.g. “Match the following constellation images to their names.”
Follow this by one or more images, videos–whatever.
For each of those media items type in the Canvas-standard markup for the blank/dropdown variable name, e.g. [fig1]. It looks something like this:
…where each [fig1] is for a single blank or dropdown choice. Don’t worry–this makes more sense when you’re in the editor!
Then simply use the area below the editor to show the correct answers with feedback.
Voila!
If this works for you, please share some examples.
