You can merge multiple assignments or multiple tests together.

 

When using the external tool to create an assignment, click “Copy assignment."

   
Click “Copy & Merge.”
   
The default view is to see your own assignments/tests from the current term. You can use the top filters to navigate to a different teacher or term, if desired.
   

Start by selecting the first assignment/test that you would like to merge. This will be the first set of skills listed on your merged assignment/test.

 

Note: 

  • If your first selection is an assignment, you will only be able to select other assignments to merge.
  • If your first selection is a test, you will only be able to select other tests to merge.
   
Continue selecting the assignments/tests you would like to merge using the check boxes on the left.
   
Note: You cannot merge a test correction.
   

Once you've chosen your assignments or tests to merge, click “Copy & Merge # Assignments/Tests.”

 

This action duplicates the assignments/tests and merges them into a single assignment/test in your account. This allows you to make edits to the merged copy without affecting the original assignments/tests.

   

On the “Overview” tab of your merged assignment/test, your default overview settings will apply.

 

The assignment will automatically be assigned to all sections in your Canvas course by default.

   
On the “Due Dates” tab, no due date will be set.
   

On the “Skills” tab, the order you selected the assignments/tests is the order the skills will appear in the merged copy.

 

The skill settings from the original assignments/tests will be applied in the merged copy.

 

Note: 

  • On a merged assignment, if the exact same skill, subtype, or video appears in multiple merged assignments, it will only appear once in the merged copy.
  • On a merged test, if the same “Assign this Problem” question appears on multiple merged tests, it will only appear once in the merged copy.
   

If desired, you can reorder your skills by clicking and holding the icon next to the question number.

 

Drag the question to a new position to change the order.

   
When you are finished making any edits, click “Create Assignment.”
