Canvas for Faculty
New Quizzes
Canvas is upgrading its current Classic Quizzes tool (the one LPC has been using since beginning with Canvas) to its New Quizzes tool. According to Canvas, "New Quizzes is a new assessment engine built to meet the assessment needs in your classroom today and in the future. Leveraging modern technologies, New Quizzes features include a series of feature enhancements and new item types, and bring workflow improvements to what is commonly encountered in Classic Quizzes." Among the New Quizzes features:
- A more intuitive interface
- New question types
- Ability to set accommodations before publishing quizzes
- Improved quiz logs
- Can print quizzes
Transition to New Quizzes
Below is a tentative timeline for transitioning to New Quizzes. Keep in mind that since Canvas has yet to announce its deadline for sunsetting Classic Quizzes, the tentative timeline might have to be moved up if it sunsets Classic Quizzes prior to Fall 2025.
- Spring 2024: Collect training resources, and input them into a Canvas course that can serve both colleges.
- Summer 2024: Begin the transition to New Quizzes by offering training and resources.
- Fall 2024: Ramp up training of all faculty in New Quizzes.
- Spring 2025: Faculty begin migrating to New Quizzes in their classes.
- Fall 2025: Turn off Classic Quizzes.
