New Quizzes is a modern assessment tool in Canvas that offers enhanced features compared to the traditional Canvas Quizzes tool. With New Quizzes, instructors can utilize advanced question types, better reporting options, and improved accessibility features. Some of the key functionalities that set New Quizzes apart include the ability to shuffle questions, set varied time limits for different students, use stimulus questions, and access richer data insights about student performance.

Creating a Quiz

  1. Navigate to the "Quizzes" section of your course.
  2. Click the "+ Quiz" button.
  3. Select "New Quizzes" from the pop-up window (if prompted to choose between Classic and New Quizzes).
  4. Provide a name for your quiz in the title field.

Set Up Quiz Options

In the Settings tab of the quiz builder, you’ll find various options to configure:

  • Shuffle Questions: Randomize the order in which questions are presented to students.
  • Time Limit: Set the duration for completing the quiz.
  • Attempts: Specify the number of attempts allowed (e.g., single attempt or multiple attempts).

  • Review your quiz settings one last time.
  • When satisfied, click the "Publish" button to make the quiz available to students.


Note: You should not publish your quiz until it is your final product. Although you can make changes to the quiz after it is published, students who have already opened or completed the quiz will not see any of the changes, which may affect their grades.
