NOTE: Scores from video quizzes are only available from MediaSpace. They can be downloaded as a CSV or printable file, but they do not automatically export to Canvas or other software. Important: ad-blocking browser extensions can result in anonymous quiz submissions. To be safe, advise students to open the video quiz in a private/incognito browser window, which will disable their extensions.
