Hi there. I am not sure if this has been dealt with before - but i could not find any comment about it. We have just started some testing with Quizzes Next and have found the integration between it and Canvas to be very disappointing as far as user navigation is concerned. From what I can tell Quizzes next seems to assume that all users will enter and exit its use via the Assignments area. We use Canvas to host professional development courses with self directed users. Typically we might have several pages of content with a Quiz in the middle of it. We expect users to work through content, test their knowledge, and move onto the next page or module of content. But it seems that in Quizzes Next - when you open a Quiz (as a user) you lose all of the navigation of the course (the left menu with Home, modules, marks etc) and get taken to what feels like an unconnected quiz experience. What is worse is that when you submit the course and get auto-graded and see your results - the user is then left hanging with no clue where to go next. When the user does spot the 'Return' button on the top right of screen (where they will have never seen a Canvas button before) it takes them back into the 'Assignments' page. In our use of Canvas - we mostly have the assignment page hidden as we just present their assessment items to them on the module page - inline with the content it relates to. So the current Quizzes Next experience would just leave our users completely confused and with no idea where to go next. We were expecting that the Quizzes next experience would simply have a 'Next' button at the bottom of the 'results' or final page the assessment experience that would take them to whatever the educational designer/teacher wanted them to see next - or at least have the 'return' button actually return the user to where they came from. Is this something that is on the roadmap? We love the new functionality of the new quiz system - but its current form that forces everyone to funnel through the Assignments page to enter and exit any quizzes would - for our purpose - confuse users, cause unneeded cognitive load, and simply make the new quiz engine unusable for us. I hope I have explained this clearly enough - let me know if you need further detail or examples. I look forward to further details Thanks Lex

Our instructors and TAs are complaining about how hard it is to get to the New Quiz Moderate page after recent New Quiz changes. Am I missing something, or is this now the only way to get to the Moderate area of a new quiz?
Click the new quiz.
The Edit quiz settings page opens.
Scroll down and click Save. (Even though you have no changes.)
The New Quizzes page opens.
Now click Moderate.
It used to just be click the new quiz and then click Moderate.
I have never seen a scenario in any software where the user has to click Save just to reach another page when the user has no edits. This design seems very counterintuitive, and I'm getting a number of emails where people think Moderate disappeared entirely.
Is there a workaround or easier way to get to the Moderate page?
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know how I can get unit vector notation in the mathquill equation editor in the new quiz engine? It doesn't seem to recognize \hat{i} or \uvec{i} as latex does.
