Atomic Assessments: Creating the Quiz

The actual creation of an Atomic Assessments quiz can be time consuming, especially the first couple of times you do it. We encourage patience with the process and the terminology. 

The only thing we will mention here is one common potential point of confusion:

  1. Atomic Assessments is used to create quizzes.
  2. However, once finally produce an Atomic Assessment quiz, Canvas will identify it as "assignment" object.

That is to say, your Atomic Assessments quiz will not be found in the Quizzes tool (on the Canvas navigation bar). Instead, it will be located under Assignments.

Below, you can find links to  documents that guide you through creating and customizing a new assignment using Atomic Assessments. The documents also introduce needed terminology and help you understand the structure of assignments in Atomic Assessments.

If these KB documents are insufficient or unclear, please, let us know. You can either use the feedback tools at the bottom of the KB documents, contact the Help Desk or directly email learnuwsupport@doit.wisc.edu to request a consultation.
