Hey there! I am so sorry to hear of your frustrations using New Quizzes. I know as a former teacher, change is hard, especially when transitioning to a new tool. I completely sympathize with you and want you to feel completely supported during this process. To help, I have provided some resources and advice below regarding New Quizzes. 

As an avid user of both quizzing tools, I am very partial to New Quizzes because of the advancements in quizzing technology, especially as it relates to the student experience (i.e., new question types, ease of use, accommodations, additional settings, and more). I'd like to share with you some helpful resources below that could be helpful for your transition to New Quizzes. 

  • Why New Quizzes PDF- this infograph provides you with a snapshot view of the many benefits of New Quizzes, no matter the role type. 
  • Instructor New Quizzes Readiness Checklist- as I mentioned before, change is hard, and a lot of that can stem from the inability of knowing where to start. This checklist provides you with the information you need to get started and how to do so. You can make a copy of this template, make adjustments, print it out, and use it as you see fit. 
  • New Quizzes Instructor Guides - all of these guides provide you step-by-step instructors for anything related to New Quizzes. I hope you find them helpful as questions arise about the tool. 
  • Dear Danielle video on New Quizzes Question Types- this short video will help you learn about the new question types and which scenarios they are best used for. 
  • Dear Danielle video on New Quizzes Accommodations- as someone who taught classes solely with students with accommodations and special needs, this tool inside of New Quizzes is such a game changer in regards to efficiency and accessibility. It is by far one of my favorite features not only inside of New Quizzes but in all of Canvas. 
  • Previous New Quizzes webinar for "New Quizzes Newbies" - this webinar was designed for users like yourself who are green to New Quizzes and need help getting started in learning how to use the tool. We got a 100% positive response rate from over 800 individuals saying this webinar helped them not only understand how to use New Quizzes but felt the time spent with New Quizzes experts was a great use of their time. I hope after watching it, you feel more empowered to use the tool. 
  • At any time you can preview a New Quiz to see what it looks like from a student perspective. I've included a screenshot from my instance to show you what it looks like.

I hope this information is helpful for you as you begin your transition to New Quizzes. Additionally, I would recommend reaching out to your Canvas Admin to see if your institution has any resources, processes, etc., they would like you to follow or use as it relates to your New Quizzes transition. Have a great day!
