New Quizzes is a new assessment engine that integrates with Canvas as an LTI tool and will replace the current (Classic) Quizzes functionality in Canvas. Instructors can try out New Quizzes to create assessments using a variety of question types.
Instructure, the company that owns and operates Canvas, is currently planning on sunsetting Classic Quizzes and enforce use of New Quizzes when adoption rate by their customers has reached 80%. However, this timeline is subject to change.
New Quizzes will not have feature parity with Classic Quizzes. Listed below are some of the current Classic Quizzes functionality that will no longer be available:
- Survey functionality
- Ability to bulk download file submissions [This is planned to be in place prior to the sunset of Classic Quizzes.]
- Ability for the Designer role to create and edit quizzes
- Answer-level feedback for all auto-graded quiz question types
Learning Technologies and Spaces is researching tools to fill in feature gaps. Please email canvashelp@stanford.edu to learn more and try out New Quizzes in a Canvas course.
