WHAT ARE NEW QUIZZES IN CANVAS?

Canvas New Quizzes are a quiz engine that integrates with Canvas and replaces the classic quizzes functionality currently existing in Canvas. Instructors can provide students the opportunity to practice using the knowledge and skills they have gained or to assess student performance related to such knowledge and skills within a New Quiz. With 13 different question types, instructors can create a variety of questions for students within one assessment rather than sticking with just multiple choice.

HOW DO NEW QUIZZES SUPPORT PERSONALIZING LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM?

Data is essential to create a plan for students based on what they need. New quizzes allows instructors to easily create and give assessments to their students, share with other educators, and track student mastery. Based on the data received from a New Quiz, instructors can identify needs and adjust instruction for each individual student.
