Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes share many of the same features. However, the two quiz tools function rather differently. It's important to understand the differences between Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes, particularly if you are already a regular user of Classic Quizzes. For a more detailed comparison table of Classic and New Quiz features, please refer to the "New Quizzes Feature Comparison" document.

Choose a Quiz Engine
While New Quizzes offers helpful features, it is currently missing some functionality on which many faculty depend. When choosing a Quizzes tool, consider the following:
The tools for migrating Classic Quizzes with question banks to New Quizzes with items banks are still under development. If your quizzes make extensive use of item banks, embedded images or videos, or links to files stored in the Files tool, the recommendation is to wait to migrate your existing quizzes to New Quizzes until these tools are complete and fully tested.
If you will be building quizzes for a new course from scratch, and if you won't be hampered by the tool's current limitations, consider using New Quizzes. By building quizzes in the newer tool, you won't have to worry about migrating them later.
Even if you don't plan to use New Quizzes regularly, explore the tool in a practice site and perhaps use it for low- or no-stakes activities in regular courses. Getting familiar with the tool now will prepare you for the transition to New Quizzes.
Select a Quiz Engine When Creating a New Quiz
From the Quizzes page in your course site, click on +Quiz at the top-right corner.
A pop-up box will appear for you to Choose a Quiz Engine. From here, you can choose between New Quizzes or Classic Quizzes.
Classic Quizzes is the original quizzing tool that will eventually be phased out; however, prior to the phase out, you can still select Classic Quizzes when creating a new quiz.
New Quizzes is a quiz engine that integrates with Canvas and will eventually replace the classic quizzes functionality.
If you would like to save your quiz engine selection for future quizzes, check the box for Remember my choice for this course. To reset your selection, click the three-dot icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Quiz page, then select Reset quiz engine choice.
Click Submit to move forward with quiz creation.
