New Quizzes Timeline Extended to 2023

Canvas has extended the timeline to move from classic quizzes to new quizzes to 2023. This provides time for Canvas to add needed features and functionality to New Quizzes, including the ability to migrate question banks, use tools such as HonorLock, and provide an improved Rich Content Editor which matches the rest of Canvas (including the LaTeX math editor).

We encourage instructors to explore New Quizzes to see the new interface and features. We will keep the campus up to date as these items become available.
