New Quizzes
We enabled New Quizzes for all courses at the start of 2024. Teachers continue to have a choice between New Quizzes and Classic Quizzes when adding quizzes to their courses.
The New Quizzes tool has several advantages:
- assessments print well (for alternative offline testing),
- time limit accommodations can be given to a student across all New Quizzes in a course,
- questions can be grouped together with a single stimulus such as a reading passage,
- questions can be duplicated easily,
- image hotspot questions are available,
- categorization questions are available, and
- fill-in-the-blank answer matching is more customizable.

Ongoing Transition
Instructure plans for New Quizzes to replace Classic Quizzes eventually, but they have not set a date to retire Classic Quizzes. We are enabling New Quizzes in all courses because several good features arrived within the past year, and it will meet almost all teachers' needs. Teachers who want to make the switch can migrate their existing quizzes and question banks into New Quizzes with the check of a box upon course import.
Classic Quizzes
Teachers can continue using Classic Quizzes at this time. More information about Classic Quizzes is available:
