What is New Quizzes?
New Quizzes is an assessment engine that integrates with Canvas as an LTI tool, and replaces the original built-in Quizzes tool (now known as "Classic Quizzes"). Both New Quizzes and Classic Quizzes are currently available in Canvas. However, the Classic version of Quizzes will be phased out and removed from our Canvas environment by Spring 2023.

Participate in the TLC's New Quizzes Pilot
The TLC is looking for individuals to be New Quizzes Champions in the Fall 2022 and Winter 2023 terms. These champions are individual instructors who are willing to learn about and pilot New Quizzes in their courses before the Classic Quizzes removal date. New Quizzes Champions could also support and mentor their colleagues in the transition from Classic to New Quizzes. If you are interested, please complete this linked registration form.

Once New Quizzes is enabled in your courses, you can use this tool to create assessments, leveraging new question types and features. For example:
- Create stimulus, hot spot, categorization or ordering questions
- Search content within an item bank
- Add extra time accommodations for an individual student (for the whole course)
