The Quizzes tool in Canvas is a flexible tool for giving timed assessments to students. The tool is equipped with various question types that will be automatically scored by Canvas using the answer key that you provide. There are also question types that allow students to type in an essay response, or upload a file as their answer. Such questions can be graded using SpeedGrader or by downloading the files.
