2. Quandary
Wanted to provide extra credit questions but not have them figure into the denominator in the gradebook.
No option to mark a question as EXTRA CREDIT like in Blackboard
Wanted to actually assess the knowledge, not provide simple extra points

3. Blackboard

4. Canvas Extra credit is not currently a default option Many options
Manually add extra points to an Existing Assignment
Manually add Fudge Points
Add within a Rubric
Total was 9 points

5. Solution Created all questions and assigned points to each question
Allowed all to be graded
Did not designate one question as extra credit
Warned students that the grades would show up out of a higher number of points and would and would need adjusted.
After quiz was taken:
Muted (hid) the column from students
Updated a question to zero points to remove from the denominator
Manually used SpeedGrader to re-input the score that was originally earned by grading all students but now the denominator is correct.
The original score is kept when you go back in so you just have to re-type it. A rocketship shows up until you do this.
