Changes to QUIZZES in CANVAS

 "Classic" vs. "New" Quizzes in Canvas


Currently, there are TWO separate quiz interfaces--what they call "classic" quizzes and "new" quizzes.  Up until mid-February, you were only able to access the "new" quizzes by going to the Assignments page in Canvas. "Classic" quizzes is the format Canvas has used for the past few years.

Now, you will be able to access both "classic" and "new" from the Quizzes page  in Canvas.   When selecting the  "Add Quiz" button, the page displays a window asking which quiz type should be used to create a quiz: Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes.

You can still use the Canvas "Classic" Quiz version through the rest of this school year. But you may notice that some quizzes you download from the Canvas Commons are in the "New" format.

Most notable new features in "New" quizzes: more drag and drop type questions (ordering, fill in the blank), hot spot questions, and side-by-side passages and questions.
