New Quizzes Migration Project

Transitioning from Classic to New Quizzes

Information and Technology Services made “New Quizzes” more readily available within U-M Canvas on December 2021. Faculty, instructors, and staff who use "Classic Quizzes" now see an option allowing them to select between New and Classic Quizzes.

This change comes after an announcement by Instructure that New Quizzes will become the native quizzing engine within Canvas once Classic Quizzes retires.
