A 'quiz' Doesn't Have to be a 'Quiz'
One thing that sometimes gets in the way of online learning is the Learning Management System (LMS). In other words, Canvas. For example, look at the course navigation over there on the left. All of the tools listed there came with names because, well, they had to name the tool something.
Some of them are pretty self-evident; however, sometimes they're perhaps a little too self-evident. For example, when a potentially powerful tool is named 'Quiz,' it can become associated with a very specific and limited pedagogical purpose. While that can be really helpful, it can also create certain expectations and limitations that are difficult to look past.
Despite the name, the Quiz tool can be used for more things than just assessing student knowledge before moving on to the next chapter. Think of these "off-brand" uses as additional, equally valid ways of using a tool that unfortunately has only one name.
