NEW Quizzes in Canvas

Yes, you read that right, there's a NEW Quizzes feature in Canvas.

What is NEW Quizzes? NEW Quizzes is an assessment engine that integrates with Canvas, gives you  a cool variety of question types, and displays in the ASSIGNMENTS page.

NEW Quizzes has a 'Hot Spot' question type where students indicate an answer by clicking a specific area of an image AND the option to add a 'Stimulus' to your questions.

Before using NEW Quizzes in a Canvas course, you MUST  turn it on in Settings for each course.
Here's how:
1. Open your course
2. Go to Settings in the course navigation (left side of the screen)
3. Choose Feature Options at the top
4. Turn ON New Quizzes

Another important thing to keep in mind with NEW Quizzes is that they will originate from ASSIGNMENTS, not Quizzes. Look for the new button, +Quiz/Test once you are in ASSIGNMENTS to add a NEW QUIZ. 

Watch this video from Canvas to get started:

Check out all of the question types in NEW Quizzes here.
