Canvas is implementing a New Quizzes function beginning this fall, and instructors will have the option to begin using it now or to choose Classic Quizzes through the Spring 2022 semester.

Canvas New Quizzes is an assessment engine built to meet the assessment needs in your classroom today and in the future. Canvas New Quizzes leverages modern technologies and features which include a series of enhancements, new item types, and workflow improvements to what is commonly encountered in Canvas Classic Quizzes.

Some of the exciting new features of New Quizzes will include:

  • Importing content into individual quiz
  • Tag banked items with metadata
  • Search content within an item bank

    For a more detailed comparison of Classic and New Quizzes, please refer to the New Feature Comparison Chart provided by Instructure.

    Important Notice: New Quizzes will be the only assessment engine available in Canvas and Classic Quizzes will no longer be accessible as of July 2022.
