Classic Quizzes
Classic Quizzes is Canvas' first quiz feature that is currently being replaced by New Quizzes. If you use Classic Quiz today, it’s time to migrate your quizzes to the new quiz feature, “New Quizzes”. At the moment, however, this is the better choice if you need to export CSV-files for student response analysis or if you are using an API.
Change to New Quizzes
Classic Quizzes is being phased out, for more information you can read our
news article about the timeline of the phaseout
.
If you have older quizzes in Classic Quizzes and want to switch to the new format it is possible with a few keystrokes. The migration is immediate and directly after the migration you can open and work with the quiz in New Quizzes.
To migrate, do as follows:
- Select Quizzes in the course navigation menu. To the right of each quiz, there are three points that will give you different action options when clicked.
- Select "Migrate". The questions have now been transferred to the new quiz engine.
- You should go through the quiz questions, as some formatting such as line breaks may have changed.
Note! Groups with questions can't be transferred, the questions need to be individual.
Question banks in Classic Quizzes can not yet be migrated directly, but the feature is on its way. Until then, put all the questions in the question bank in one quiz. Then follow the instructions above. Finish by sorting the questions into item banks for New Quizzes.
