Canvas is rolling out an update to the current Quizzes feature. Starting now, you will have the option to use the new tool, called “New Quizzes,” or the current tool, called “Classic Quizzes” when building a Quiz.
New Quizzes is an assessment engine that integrates with Canvas as an LTI tool and will replace the Classic Quizzes functionality currently existing in Canvas.
You can use New Quizzes to create assessments using a variety of questions types. New Quizzes assessments display as assignments in the Assignments page and can be duplicated. Students can take New Quizzes assessments within their Canvas courses.
Canvas will eventually prevent the creation of new Classic Quizzes in July, 2022 June 2024 (December 2021 update). If you have existing Classic Quizzes that you would like to continue using, you can migrate them to New Quizzes.
For more information, please contact your Educational Technologist at edtech@pugetsound.edu.
Canvas also has a number of user guides for New Quizzes:
