Canvas / New Quizzes

Objective

• To provide instruction on enabling New Quizzes in Canvas

Scope

In the current integration version, Proctorio-enabled exams can be successfully launched from the Quizzes or Assignments page, but Canvas New Quizzes are unsupported when launched from a Module. Therefore, it is recommended that Canvas New Quizzes only be launched from Quizzes or Assignments. Proctorio and Canvas are working to get this issue resolved (1/8/24).

• Classic Quizzes is the original quiz tool found in left navigation as Quizzes. For the time being, if you need security from third-party tools, Speedgrader, or CSVs for student response analysis, this is the better choice
• New Quizzes is the new quiz tool. This has more question types like hot spot, categorization, matching, and ordering. It also has more moderation and accommodation features. Questions can be added to a bank within the question
