New Quizzes Tool in Canvas

Overview

The new Quizzes tool in Canvas is available for instructors to use on a course-by-course basis. To turn this on, instructors go to the Course Settings menu, clicking the Feature Options tab, and clicking the switch next to Quizzes.Next (or New Quizzes) option. Instructors can use New Quizzes and Classic Quizzes in the same course. Additionally, classic quizzes can be migrated to the new Quizzes Tool.
