About New Quizzes

Canvas now has two quiz engines available for you to pick from: Classic Quizzes (what you use now) and New Quizzes. New Quizzes, is Canvas' newest quiz engine and it has some key features which include:

New Question Types: categorization, hotspot, ordering, stimulus passage, matching.
Item Banks (Question Banks) are tied to your account so they are available from any Canvas course that you teach and you can share them with colleagues.
Migrate Classic Quizzes: Re-use an existing assessment in your course by migrating it to New Quizzes. (Best for assessments that do not contain question groups nor are linked to item banks, see migration options section).
Add Extended Time for students to take an assessment for one or all quizzes in the course.
Different Point Values per answer choices: available for multiple choice type questions only.

You will be able to use both Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes in tandem. You can turn on New Quizzes for individual courses via the settings page under feature options. Turning on New Quizzes does not convert your existing quizzes into the New Quizzes format. You will have to initiate the conversion process via one of the Migration Options depending on how your Quiz is formatted.

Please visit the New Quizzes Feature Comparison page to learn more about the differences between both Quiz engines.
