Introduction
Respondus 4 supports the publishing of test questions directly to Canvas New Quizzes starting from version 4.1.0.02. In addition, institutionally preconfigured Canvas server is no longer required. Users are expected to configure Canvas server settings manually. This configuration only needs to be done once, and can be re-used in future publishing.
