You can use the Vevox Canvas integration to create asynchronous quizzes or surveys that your students can access in their own time when they log onto Canvas and open your module.

To use Vevox in Canvas, complete the following steps:

  1. Once a Unit has been created in your module in the Units area, click the + icon on the right side of the module tab to open up the Add Item panel.
  2. Select External tool from the list.
  3. Click Vevox.
  4. Click CREATE NEW.
  5. Enter a session name in the Session name field.
  6. Select Anonymous if you want to allow students to be anonymous. This means that there will be no grading information. Select Identified if you want to be able to identify students. Names will be hidden for other participants but the participant's identity will be visible in the data reports and grading information will be available. 
  7. Select Self-paced survey/quiz and enter a survey name in the Survey name field.
  8. Click SELECT. The session will be added to Canvas as an assignment with the title Assignment. 
  9. Click on the assignment name to open the assignment, then click Edit assignment settings (you may need to scroll down for this option). Enter a name for the session in the Assignment name field.
  10. Configure the other assignment options for the session. If the session isn't supposed to be graded, enter 0 in the Points field and select Do not count this assignment towards the final grade. Click Save.
  11. On the opened assignment, click OPEN IN NEW TAB. This will open the Vevox dashboard, where you can create your survey/poll. Click the Survey tab on the left of the screen. If you named the survey in Canvas, it's name will appear.
  12. Create your survey/quiz in Vevox. See Creating an asynchronous survey or quiz using Vevox for more information on creating surveys/quizzes in Vevox.
  13. At the top of the Vevox dashboard, click START SESSION. 
  14. Depending on whether you have made a survey or poll, click START SURVEY, or START QUIZ.
  15. When you are ready for your students to interact with the survey or poll, go back to the Canvas tab and publish both the unit and the assignment. Click Student View and view the assignment to ensure all is set up correctly.
